Surface tension is typically measured in dynes/cm, the force in dynes required to break
a film of length 1 cm. Equivalently, it can be stated as surface energy in ergs per square
centimeter. (dyn/cm or mN/m)

There is a force of attraction between molecules in liquids, and liquids can flow until they
take on the shape that maximizes this force of attraction. Below the surface of the liquid,
the force of cohesion between molecules is the same in all directions, as shown in the
figure below.

Molecules on the surface of the liquid, however, feel a net force of attraction that pulls
them back into the body of the liquid.

As a result, the liquid tries to take on the shape that has the smallest possible surface
area the shape of a sphere.

The magnitude of the force that controls the shape of the liquid is called the
surface tension.



Critical Surface tension;

That value of surface tension of a liquid below which the liquid will spread on a solid
expressed in dynes/cm (mN/m).
