Options

(a) C₂H₅OH
(b) CH₃OH
(c) H₂O
(d) C₆H₆

Correct Answer:

  • I think Surface tension of H2O is maximum bcoz H2O have strong hydrogen bonding as compared to the other given options....liquids were molecule have large attractive intermolecular force will have large surface tension.... Thankyou...hope it will hlp u☺
