Question

Surface tension is nothing but it is the property of liquid by virtue of which it tries to occupy maximum surface area within the given volume.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Surface tension is nothing but it is the property of liquid by virtue of which it tries to occupy minimum surface area within the given volume. The wetting of a prticular surface depends on the roughness which affects the surface tension. For rough surface, surface tension is more while for a smooth surface it is less.
