Free notes of surface tension

  Surface tension.         Intermolecular forces:- The forces of attraction and repulsion between their molecules . These forces ,are called intermolecular . Their is to forces 1) cohesive force.  2) adhesive force. Cohesive force:- the force of attraction between 2 molecules of same substance called as cohesion. Adhesive force:- the force of attraction and repulsion between the two different substance like liquid and solid ,solid with gas etc. is called adhesion. Range of molecular forces:- The maximum distance between 2 molecules upto which intermolecular forces are effective (also called as short range forces). Distance (10 to the power -9). Sphere of influence :- an imaginary sphere drawn with given molecule as centre and radius equal to the molecular range . Surface film :- The layer of surface of liquid whose thickness is about equal to range of molecular attraction. Surface energy :- when a molecular is taken from the inside to the surface layer work...
