If temperature increases, the surface tension of a liquid

A

Increases

B

Decreases

C

Remains constant

D

Shows irregular behaviour

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

On increasing the temperature, mobility of the molecules increases or vaporisation increases. Thus, the surface tension decreases.
