Surface tension is a property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force. for example, some objects can float on the surface of water, even though they are denser than water, and in the ability of some insectsto run on the water surface. This property is caused by cohesion of similar molecules, and is responsible for many of the behaviors of liquids.
