Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When the surface of a liquid resists any external force due to the cohesive nature of its molecules it is known as surface tension.

These cohesive forces between the molecules are shared with all the neighboring molecules. The molecules at the surface does not have any neighboring molecules thus, they are attracted by the molecules on and below the surface.

This reduces the surface area and increases the surface tension of the liquid. More tightly the molecules are attracted, more will be the surface tension.

Out of the given options, mercury has the highest surface tension.

larisa [96]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 2. From the balanced equation, the energy is absorbed as the bonds are broken. Energy is needed to be supplied for the bonds to be broken.

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
