Question:
Surface tension vanishes at
Surface tension vanishes at
Updated On: Jun 18, 2022
- Boiling point
- Critical temperature
- Condensation point
- Triple point.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
At the critical temperature, the meniscus between the liquicland its vapour disappears. Hence, surface tension of the liquid becomes equal to zero.

Concepts Used:
Liquid State
The liquid state of matter has the following properties:
- As the particles moves it start moving everywhere inside the volume filled by the liquid.
- Liquids have a strong inter-particle force, more inter-particle space than solids and enough kinetic energy.
- It can be transformed into solids due to the solidification process.
- Evaporation is the conversion of liquids to gases.
- Liquid particles begin to flow more quickly when the temperature rises.
- Liquids are difficult to compress because there is less space between particles for particles to migrate.
- Constant volume but no constant shape.
- In liquids, the rate of diffusion is faster than in solids.
- Inter molecular attraction between particles is weaker than that between solids.
