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.
Let's start with the drop of water on the wax paper: It is easy to see that the drop seems to have a skin holding it into a sort of flattened sphere. It turns out that this surface tension is the result of the tendency of water molecules to attract one another (called cohesion).
