Surface tension and surface energy are two very important concepts discussed in physics. The concepts of surface tension and surface energy are widely used in fields such as fluid mechanics, fluid dynamics, aerodynamics and various other fields. Surface tension is the net intermolecular force on the surface molecules of a liquid. Surface energy is the relevant energy of these bonds. In this article, we are going to discuss what surface tension and surface energy are, their applications, the definitions of surface tension and surface energy, their similarities, and finally the difference between surface tension and surface energy.
