Surface Tension in Boiling and Condensation Formulas

Surface tension is a word that is linked to the liquid surface. It is a physical property of liquids, in which the molecules are drawn onto every side. And is denoted by σ. Surface Tension is usually measured using the Newton per Meter for Surface Tension. Note that the value of Surface Tension is always negative.
