MCQ
The surface tension of a liquid at its boiling point
- ✓Becomes zero
- BBecomes infinity
- Cis equal to the value at room temperature
- Dis half to the value at the room temperature
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Becomes zero
a
(a) As the temperature increases, surface tension decreases. At the boiling point, every molecule of a liquid are in motion from bottom to surface, and due to rise in temperature, molecules lose the adhesion and hence, surface tension becomes zero.
