It is caused by the cohesive forces between the molecules of the liquid. The stronger the cohesive forces, the greater the surface tension.<\/p>\n<p>The surface tension of mercury is less than that of water because the cohesive forces between mercury molecules are weaker than those between water molecules. This is because mercury is a metal, while water is a polar molecule. The electrons in a metal are shared equally by all of the atoms in the metal, while the electrons in a polar molecule are shared unequally between the atoms. This difference in electron sharing causes the molecules in a metal to be more strongly attracted to each other than the molecules in a polar molecule.<\/p>\n<p>The size of the glass tube does not affect the surface tension of the liquid inside the tube.
