Surface Tension Surface tension is the skin-like surface of a liquid due to the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules. The diagram below shows an imagined magnified view of the surface of water, the molecules of liquid at the surface do not have other like- molecules above them.
All liquids have surface tension, not just water. It is caused by  the difference in attraction of the molecules at the surface of the  liquid to the bulk of the liquid vs. â¦ their attraction to the medium  outside the liquid.
