The surface tension is maximum in \bold{\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}}.

Option: (a)

Explanation:  

  • Water has oxygen which has lone pair of electron. This lone pair gets donated to the hydrogen atom of another molecule of water.
  • This is due to vacant orbital in hydrogen. Hence due to the presence of hydrogen bond between two successive molecules of water, the surface tension of water is more. 
  • Benzene does not have any oxygen, alcohols usually don’t exhibit as much of hydrogen bond as compared to water. So their surface tension is much lower.
