The surface tension of which of the following liquid is maximum

The surface tension of which of the following liquid is maximum

Options

(a) C₂H₅OH
(b) CH₃OH
(c) H₂O
(d) C₆H₆

Correct Answer:

H₂O

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding in H₂O > C₂H₅OH > CH₃OH . Hence, H₂O has maximum surface tension.

  • 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☺
