Surface tension-Attractive forces cause particles on the surface of a liquid to pull together and resist from being pushed apart. These particles on the surface are pulled toward the center of the liquid and and sideways along the surface. There are no liquid particles above to pull on them. Particles under the surface are pulled in all different directions. Surface tension is the uneven forces acting on the surface particles of a liquid. Surface tension causes a liquid to act like it has a thin film stretched across the surface.
