Surface tension occurs due to ionic bonding.

(Choice B)
B
Surface tension is caused by water molecules repelling one another.

(Choice C)
C
Surface tension allows water to support small objects if they are placed carefully on its surface.

(Choice D)
D
Surface tension of water is weakened by hydrogen bonding.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Thisis the tendancy of the water surface to act as athin elastic stretched skin and can therefore support small objects when carefully placed on the surface

Answer 2

Surface tension allowing water to support small objects if they are placed carefully on its surface best describes it.

What is Surface tension?

This is the property of liquid surfaces which makes a substance which has a higher density than water to float on the surface as a result of it being able to resist the external force.

Allowing water to support small objects if they are placed carefully on its surface without sinking is referred to as Surface tension.
