Surface tension

Force that acts along the surface of a liquid and in a direction parallel to it. It is a consequence of the attractive force that the molecules of a liquid make on those that are in the surface of separation of the same. While the interior molecules are attracted equally in all directions, those on the surface are only attracted inward.
