Water Surface Tension
Answers to Common Questions
Surface tension is a measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid. Water has a high surface tension because of the hydrogen bonding of surface molecules.
By breaking the hydrogen bonds that cause surface tension. Best way to see the effect is a water skipper, a bowl of water and a drop of soap. The soap breaks the hydrogen bonds and the water skipper has nothing to hold on to.
There are several methods of measuring the surface tension of liquids, most requiring expensive scientific equipment or a lot of mathematical calculations. The surface tension of water will vary only slightly over a wide range of conditions...
