Surface tension is is a measure of the indward pull by particles in the interior. You can lower surface tension by surfactsnts. Surfactants are compounds that lower the sruface tension of water. They are also known as surface active agents.

The definition of surface tension is the measure of inward pull by particles in the interior. You can decrease the amount of surface tension by using surfactants. Another name for these would be surface active agents.

Suface tension is a measure of the inside pull of particles. The lower surfaces is tensioned by surfactants. They are a compound that is used in water.

Surface tension is the measure of the inward pull by particles in the interior. You can use surfactants to lower surface tension. They are also called surface active agents.

Surface tension is a measure of the inward pull by particles in the interior. You are able to lower surface tensions. This is due to surfactants.

Surface tension is measured with inward pull by the interior. We lower the tension by the surfactants. We can use them in water.

Surface tension is a measure of inward pull of particles of the interior. You can decrease the surface tension by added surfactants. You can also decrease it by changing the liquid's mass.

Surface tension is the measure of the inward pull by particles in the interior. Surfactants can lower the surface tension. THis is also done by lowering the temperature.

It is the measure of the inward pull by particles in the interior. Surfactants can lower surface tensions, alos known as surface active agents.

Surface tension is a measure of the inward pull by particles in the interior. The energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a given amount. The stronger the attractions between particles the greater the surface tension.

Surface tension is a measure o the inward pull by particles in the interior. The lower surface tension is by surfactsnts. Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension of water.

The surface tension is the measure of the indward pull by particles in the interior. In this you can decrease the # of surface tension by surfactants. This also can be called surface active agents.
