Why can soap bubbles explode?

Soap bubbles are basically an air bag wrapped inside a liquid soap water film. This membrane is composed mainly of water.

Bubbles form due to a special property of water molecules, which is the ability to suck and stick together.

Picture 1 of Why can soap bubbles explode?
Bubbles formed by the ability to attract and stick together water molecules.

The attraction between water molecules creates surface tension . This surface tension along with air pressure from inside and outside the bubble creates equilibrium, which helps maintain the bubbles for a while in the air.

However, because the equilibrium is very fragile, just a wind or their dry fingers impact will easily break the surface tension, causing the soap water layer to break and as a result bubbles explode.

Besides, dry air also causes water to evaporate from the membrane. This causes the coating to gradually become thin and eventually explode.
