Question

how is surface energy and surface tension related​

Answer 1

They are able to do this because of the phenomenon known as surface tension. Because of cohesive forces across liquid molecules, surface tension causes the existence of a thin film (layer) across the surface. Surface energy is the work done per unit area to produce this new surface

Answer 2

HEY!!!

SURFACE ENERGY - ECERT FORCE BY THE SURFACE

SURFACE TENSION - MAKE A TENSION BY FRICTION
