  • Surface Tension is a property of liquid at rest by virtue of which a liquid surface gets contracted to aminimum area and behaves like a stretched membrane.
  • An increase in temperature of water (or any liquid) leads to an increase in kinetic energy of molecules. 
  • Thus, intermolecular forces among molecules are lowered and a decrease in surface tension is noticed.
