Surface tension, property of a liquid surface displayed by its acting as if it were a stretched elastic membrane.

Answer:

Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. Surface tension is what allows objects with a higher density than water such as razor blades and insects (e.g. water striders) to float on a water surface without becoming even partly submerged.
