Which of the following liquids has the maximum surface tension at a given temperature ?

A

`C_(2)H_(5)OH`

B

`CH_(3)OH`

C

`H_(2)O`

D

`C_(6)H_(6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Due to hydrogen bonding `H_(2)O` has the highest intermolecular force, hence its surface tension is also maximum
