Water tension is caused by the angled shape of the structure of the H2O molecule wherein the two hydrogen atoms (1 e-)^2 are on the opposite side of the molecule as the one oxygen atom (6 e-). Thus the molecule becomes polar [same principal as a magnet] and therefore each molecule of water is attracted to the next one in a form known as cohesion.

Does higher tension evaporat water faster then low tension?
Tension does not have anything to do with evaporation.
Does water have a relatively high or low surface tension?
MERCURY has a higher surface tension than water. This highest surface tension between liquids is 487 mN/m at 15 0C.
Does the pH of water remain exactly neutral because of the high surface tension of water?
The pH of water is not related to surface tension.
Why the change in surface tension is much less when sodium chloride is added to water in place of an equivalent amount of ethanol?
Sodium chloride increase the surface tension of water and methanol decrease the surface tension of water.
True or false Addition of a detergent to water increases the surface tension of the water?
False. When detergent or soap is added to water then it surface tension decreases.
What is the effect of sodium chloride on the surface tension of water?
The surface tension of water is increased for salted water.Sodium chloride increase the surface tension of water.
What is the definition of the word heat?
a tension of vibrating energy
What you the definition of hypertonic?
Having extreme muscular or arterial tension.
Is surface tension and water tension the same?
yes
What is the definition of tranquil?

What property of water let's bugs walk on water?
surface tension
Does higher tension evaporat water faster then low tension?
Tension does not have anything to do with evaporation.
How does surface tension of water compare with the surface tension of most other liquid?
The surface tension of water is higher than that of most other liquids. Water has a surface tension of 7.29 * 10-2 J/m2 at 20oC.
Does water have a relatively high or low surface tension?
MERCURY has a higher surface tension than water. This highest surface tension between liquids is 487 mN/m at 15 0C.
A consequence of the surface tension of water is?
The surface tension of water is responsible for the cohesive properties it exhibits. For example, capillary action is a consequence of surface tension.
How do the word use surface tension?
A water skipper is able to walk on water based on surface tension.
What makes a needle to float in water?
Water surface tension hold the needle on the water surface.
