Answer:
Surface tension is an effect where the surfaceof a liquid is strong. Some insects (e.g. water striders) can run on the surface of water because of this. This property is caused by the molecules in the liquid being attracted to each other (cohesion), and is responsible for many of the behaviors of liquids.

Surface Tension:
The tangential force per unit length, acting at right angles on either side of a line imagined to be drawn on the free liquid surface in equilibrium.
The free surface of a liquid behaves like a stretched elastic membrane or a stretched rubber sheet.The free surface of liquid is in state of tension.
