Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is surface tension?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that surface tension is a property of liquids.
Step 2: Imagine the surface of a liquid like a stretched elastic sheet.
Step 3: Realize that molecules at the surface of the liquid are attracted to each other.
Step 4: This attraction creates a 'skin' on the surface, making it behave differently than the liquid below.
Step 5: Surface tension is the force that acts along this surface, trying to minimize the area of the liquid.
