What is the term for the molecular cohesive force at a liquid-gas interface?
A) surface tension
B) compliance
C) resistance
D) elastance

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Surface tension is the term used to describe the cohesive force between molecules at the surface of a liquid and the surrounding gas phase. This property is due to the attraction between the liquid molecules, which results in the formation of a continuous surface that resists external forces. Choice B, C, and D are not accurate descriptions of this property.
