Surface tension of a liquid_________________?

Correct answer: D. All A, B. & C

  • A. Is due to intermolecular forces of cohesion
  • B. Decreases with rise in temperature
  • C. Is responsible for the spherical shape of an isolated liquid drop
  • D. All A, B. & C

Explanation

All three statements describe surface tension: cohesive molecular forces produce it, increasing temperature reduces it, and minimising surface area makes a free liquid drop spherical. Therefore the combined option is required.
