    Soap bubble

    We can make soap bubble easily.
    But we can't easily make water bubble, why?

    Soap lowers surface tension

    Compare same radius bubble ,
    Surface tension is high, and then that bubble’s inside pressure is high. I Know
    But
    I ask why we can’t make water bubble.

    Bubble surface is a membrane. High surface tension = high energy contained in the total surface. This disrupts the membrane, since it is constructed of H2O, which has low tensile strength.
