The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension. The molecules at the surface do not have other like molecules on all sides of them and consequently they cohere more strongly to those directly associated with them on the surface.
Tension is physical or mental strain, the force created by pulling something tight or a strain in a relationship. An example of tension is the feeling of working to meet an established deadline. An example of tension is pulling the two ends of a rubber band further and further apart from each other.
Adhesion of water to the surface of a material will cause an upward force on the liquid. The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact. Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the surface material is stronger than the cohesive forces between the water molecules.
the surface tension (force per unit length) and the surface energy density are identical. Water has a surface energy density of 0.072 J/m^2 and a surface tension of 0.072 N/m; the units are equivalent. ... Surface energy is the work per unit area done by the force that creates the new surface.
Young's modulus can be calculated from tensile test stress/strain graphs–derived from load/extension graphs. The slope of the graph is used to calculate E when the material is obeying Hooke's law.
Definition of surface tension for English Language Learners. : the force that causes the molecules on the surface of a liquid to be pushed together and form a layer.
As temperature decreases, surface tension increases. Conversely, as surface tension decreases strong; as molecules become more active with an increase in temperature becoming zero at its boiling point and vanishing at critical temperature. Adding chemicals to a liquid will change its surface tension
Surface tension has been well- explained by the molecular theory of matter. According to this theory, cohesive forces among liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon of surface tension. The molecules well inside the liquid are attracted equally in all directions by the other molecules.
Surface tension is defined as the amount of energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit amount. So the units can be expressed in joules per square meter (J/m2).
The molecules at the surface do not have other like molecules on all sides of them and consequently they cohere more strongly to those directly associated with them on the surface.
The tiniest animals are gliders. Insects, such as water striders, and spiders, such as fisher spiders, can glide or scamper across the surface of water. These critters are small enough that their weight can be supported almost entirely by surface tension, the relatively weak forces that hold water molecules together.
A method for calculating average advancing and receding contact angles on solids of uniform geometry. Both sides of the solid must have the same properties. Wetting force on the solid is measured as the solid is immersed in or withdrawn from a liquid of known surface tension
Because of the polarity of the water molecule, hydrogen bonds form between them. This results in the higher surface tension. Oil is nonpolar, so hydrogen bonds do not form between the molecules, so the surface tension is less.
Surface tension is responsible for the shape of liquid droplets. Although easily deformed, droplets of water tend to be pulled into a spherical shape by the imbalance in cohesive forces of the surface layer. ... The spherical shape minimizes the necessary "wall tension" of the surface layer according to Laplace's law.
the energy associated with the inter molecular forces at the interface between two media. the surface energy per unit area equals the surface tension — called also free surface energy.
A related concept is the surface energy (or surface tension) of a liquid, which is the amount of excess energy at the surface of the liquid. Surface tension exists because molecules in the bulk liquid are in a lower energy state than at the surface.
Image result for why is the surface tension of water is high?water.usgs.gov The water molecules attract one another due to the water's polar property. The hydrogen ends, which are positive in comparison to the negative ends of the oxygen cause water to "stick" together. This is why there is surface tension and takes a certain amount of energy to break these inter molecular bonds
A suggestion is surface stress define as association with the amount of the reversible work per unit area needed to elastically stretch a pre-existing surface instead of up definition.
The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of inter molecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules: A molecule in the bulk liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions. A molecule at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.

ReplyDeleteHow capillary action and surface tension are related ?
Adhesion of water to the surface of a material will cause an upward force on the liquid. The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact. Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the surface material is stronger than the cohesive forces between the water molecules.
