Question

explain surface tension on the basis of kinetic theory​

Answer 1

Surface tension has been well-explained by the molecular theoryof matter. According to thistheory, cohesive forces among liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon of surface tension. The molecules well inside the liquid are attracted equally in all directions by the other molecules.

Answer 2

Surface tension on the basis of kinetic theory is explained below:

Explanation for the answer:

• Surface tension has been well understood by understanding the molecular theory of matter.
• According to this theory, all the cohesive forces acting among liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon of surface tension.
• The molecules inside the liquid are attracted equally in all directions by the other molecules.
• Step 1: The development of surface tension arises because of the cohesive forces acting between the molecules of a liquid.
• Step 2: For molecule B as a part of its sphere of influence is outer the liquid surface.
