Question

what is surface tention? explain with example.​

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

hi mate , »»»» 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.

• »»»»Surface Tension: "The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules.
• »»»»" It seems to defy the laws of physics, but a paper clip made of steel can indeed float on the water surface.

Some notale applications of surface tension are:

• A needle placed on water can be made to float due to the surface tension of water.
• Warm water is used for washing purpose as heating increases the surface area and reduces surface tension.
• Mosquito eggs can float on water because of its surface tension.
