Measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid?

What is suface tension?
The amount of energy needed to break the surface of a liquid.
What liquid have the strongest surface tension?
Mercury is the liquid with the strongest surface tension.
Surface Tension is found in what?
Surface tension is found in Liquid
Is the inward force among the molecules of a liquid?
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
How do you break the surface tension?
Adding surfactants the surface tension decrease.
Is surface tension a solid liquid or gas?
Surface tension is a characteristic of liquids.
What is surface tension in hydrocarbons?
Each liquid hydrocarbon has a different surface tension.
Effect of impurities on surface tension of liqiud?
yes The presence of impurities either on the surface or dissolved in it, affect surface tension of the liquid. Highly soluble substances increase the surface tension of water, whereas sparingly soluble substances reduce the surface tension of water. The surface tension of a liquid decreases with increase in temperature. The surface tension of a liquid becomes zero at its boiling point and vanishes at critical temperature.
What liquid does gold float on?
Gold can float on water if there's a layer of oil on the surface. To break the surface tension, a drop of Dawn soap will do the trick.
