<h2>Why does water have strong surface tension?</h2>

The stronger the cohesive force, the stronger the surface tension. The water molecule has two hydrogen atoms bond to an oxygen atom through covalent bonding. ... Formed bonds are called hydrogen bonds which lead to strong cohesive forces between the water molecules and high surface tension of water.

<h2>Why is it important?</h2>

The surface tension of water provides the necessary wall tension for the formation of bubbles with water. The tendency to minimize that wall tension pulls the bubbles into spherical shapes. Surface tension and droplets: Surface tension is responsible for the shape of liquid droplets.
