Answer:
surface tension
noun
the tension of the surface film of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles in the surface layer by the bulk of the liquid, which tends to minimize surface area.
Explanation:
Surface tension you can think of as simply the force that the system experiences due to the minimization of surface energy. It turns out that breaking the surface would increase it, so the liquid is not happy.
