Consequences of surface tension.

Answer»

i. Spherical shape of liquid drops – Surface tension tries to decrease the surface area of a liquid to minimum. Since for a given volume of liquid, sphere has the minimum surface area so liquid drops acquire spherical shape.

ii. Capillary action – Rise of liquid in capillary is due to the surface tension which pushes the liquid into the capillary tube.
