Re: Surface tension- hmmm... solution are surrounded by as many neighboring molecules as possible and experience a uniform cohesive force in all directions. Molecules on the surface, however, have fewer neighboring molecules than they can have and so experience a net inward force due to the now unbalanced attractive forces ...

Surface tension- hmmm... molecules have a stronger bond than others thus creating a stronger surface tension. This really sounds like a question for Blcr11 the crystal guy.
