Book Chapter
Surface and Interfacial Tension
2014
Overview
The surface tension of liquids causes the formation of drops and is related to the attractive forces between the molecules. These attractive forces are the source of condensation of vapors into liquids and they originate from dispersion, dipole–dipole, dipoleinduced dipole forces, and hydrogen bonding among others. In the bulk liquid, a molecule senses the same attractive forces in all directions, whereas for a molecule at the surface this attraction is lacking in one direction. This asymmetry is the origin of the surface energy and is manifested in the surface tension. Hence, the surface tension is a reflection of the cohesive forces in a liquid. The interfacial tension is the surface free energy of the interface between two immiscible, or poorly miscible liquids. The reason for immiscibility is the large difference in cohesion forces between the molecules in the two liquids.
