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.
Surface tension may be affected by adding soap to. the water, and the effect can be measured by comparing the number of. drops of plain tap water to the number of drops of soapy water that stick to. a penny. If soap increases the surface tension, more drops of soapy water.
