Definitionen

Surface tension is the property of a liquid's surface that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules. It is caused by the attraction between molecules at the surface of the liquid, which creates a 'film' that can support small objects and affects the shape of liquid droplets.
