What is the reason behind the high surface tension of water

Answered by admin @ 04/08/2021

Answer: Water has a high surface tension because the water molecules on the surface are pulled together by strong hydrogen bonds. This means a drop of water will want to have the smallest possible surface area.

this is the causes of high surface tension of water :This is when it is at liquid–air interfaces, surface tension results from the greater attraction of liquid molecules to each other (due to cohesion) than to the molecules in the air (due to adhesion
