surface layer molecules only have attractions downwards and sidewards no upwards attraction is there so the sidewards attraction will acts as a elastic force rusult to surface tension

What is a force that acts on particles at a liquids surface?
Surface tension. It always tends to acquire minimum surface area thats why water droplets form spherical shape.
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
What do you expect to see if the liquid surface tension is less than or equal to the critical surface tension of a surface?
the lack of a surface.
What substance has the largest surface tension at room temperature?
The highest surface tension at 15 0C is the surface tension of mercury: 487 dyn/cm.
Why does surface tension and capillary action occur in water?
because of the gravity
Why does a meniscus occur?
It is because of the surface tension and cohesian of the molecules. It can be concave or convex.
What is a force that acts on particles at a liquids surface?

Surface Tension is found in what?
Surface tension is found in Liquid
What is surface tension coefficient?
define coefficient of surface tension
What liquid have the strongest surface tension?
Mercury is the liquid with the strongest surface tension.
Is the inward force among the molecules of a liquid?
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
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.
How do you break the surface tension?
Adding surfactants the surface tension decrease.
Does water have the highest surface tension?
No, mercury has a higher surface tension.
Is surface tension a solid liquid or gas?
Surface tension is a characteristic of liquids.
Effect of Temperature on Surface Tension?
surface tension decreases with the increase of temperature
