Surface tension Simple English Wikipedia, the free
Surfactants. Surface tension is visible in other common phenomena, especially when surfactants are used to decrease it: Soap bubbles have very large surface areas ;Even though the soap film has less surface tension than pure water, which would pull itself into tiny droplets;2) Mechanical definition of surface tension. Thus surface tension can manifest itself both in forms of surface energy as well as surface force.;Surface tension is the elastic tendency of a fluid surface which makes it acquire the least surface area possible. Surface tension allows insects (e.g. water striders);In a soap-and-water solution the hydrophobic (greasy) ends of the soap molecule do not want to be in the liquid at all. Those that find their way to the surface ; J-Law couldn't resist giving the former soap star a massive squeeze at a fan screening of the new flick in London
