Tension Superficial

Objectives

In this section you will learn about the behavior of a liquid, solid gas interface.   In particular you will learn about the angle at which the air-solid and air liquid interfaces and its causes.


After studying these materials you are expected to:


1) Describe the effects of a tensioactive material on surface tension.

2) Explain how tensioactive materials work.

3) Describe the chemical behavior of tensioactive substances.

4) Describe the two main classifications of tensioactive materials.
