Question

Define surface tension with respect to surface energy

Answer 1

Surface tension is the net intermolecular force on the surface molecules of a liquid. Surface tension is defined as the force parallel to the surface perpendicular to a unit length line drawn on the surface. Surface energy is the relevant energy of these bonds.

Answer 2

HLO MATE HERE IS UR ANSWER.

❤. SURFACE TENSION ❤

⭐. The tengential force per unit length , at right angles on either side of a line , imagined to be drawn on the free liquid surface in equilibrium is called surface tension of the liquid.

⭐. surface tension = Force / length.

⭐. C.G.S Unit : dyne/cm

⭐. S.I unit :N/m.

❤. SURFACE ENERGY ❤

⭐. The amount of work done against the force of surface tension in increasing the liquid surface of a given area at a constant temperature is called surface energy.

⭐. S.I unit : joule.
