Surface Energy and Surface Tension
Interactive Molecular Simulation
This simulation visualizes molecules in a liquid and at the surface, demonstrating the concept of surface energy. Molecules inside the liquid experience balanced attractive forces, while surface molecules experience net inward force, resulting in surface tension.
