Surface tension is caused by the cohesive forces between molecules of a liquid, which creates an attractive force that holds the liquid together. Cohesion refers to the attraction between molecules of the same substance, while adhesion is the attraction between different types of molecules. This document discusses the concepts of surface tension, cohesion, and adhesion in liquids.
