True or False: Liquid oxygen should have a larger surface tension than liquid bromine (assuming T and P are the same for both liquids). False: Surface tension of liquids increase as Intermolecular Force strength increases. Both O2 and Br2 are non-polar molecules, and have only dispersion forces. Those dispersion forces are stronger for Br2, however, since it has many more electrons (70 vs. 16) than does O2.
Cohesion makes a water drop a drop. It is easy to see that the drop seems to have a skin holding it into a sort of flattened sphere (although there is nothing flat about a water drop in outer space.). It turns out that this surface tension is the result of the tendency of water molecules to attract one another. The natural form of a water drop occurs in the lowest energy state, the state where the atoms in the molecule are using the least amount of energy.
