Please refer to
2.1 Surface tension
The interface between a liquid and a gas phase is subject to a force, called surface tensionγ (or surface tension), which opposes its deformation. The physical origin of this force lies in an imbalance at the gas/liquid interface. This is because molecules in the liquid phase do not interact in the same way with their neighbors on the surface and in the volume (figure 3). Molecules on the surface are therefore in an energetically unfavorable state, and arrange themselves in...
