Answer:

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface tension in water owes to the fact that water molecules attract one another, as each molecule forms a bond with the ones in its vicinity. ... This inward net force causes the molecules on the surface to contract and to resist being stretched or broken. Hope this helps!
