Answer:
Surface tension:
The tension of the surface film of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles in the surface layer by the bulk of the liquid, which tends to minimize surface area.
Surface energy:
Surface energy quantifies the disruption of intermolecular bonds that occurs when a surface is created.
