Assertion : The angle of contact of a liquid decreases with increase in temperature.
Reason : With increase in temperature the surface tension of liquid increases


Important Questions on Viscosity and Surface Tension
Assertion: A needle placed carefully on the surface of water may float.
Reason: A needle placed carefully on the surface of water may float due to surface tension as upward force due to surface tension balances the weight of the needle.

Assertion: The angle of contact does not depend upon the inclination of the solid in the liquid.
Reason: The angle of contact depends on cohesive and adhesive forces.

Assertion: Surface tension of liquid decreases with increase in temperature.
Reason: Cohesive force between liquid molecules increase with increase in the temperature.

Assertion: A thin stainless steel needle can lay floating on still water surface.
Reason: Any object floats when the buoyant force balances the weight of the object.

Assertion: Surface energy of an oil drop is same whether placed on glass or water surface.
Reason: Surface energy is dependent only on the properties of oil.

Reason : Only liquids have free surface in fluids.

Reason : Thin film formed creates pressure difference.

Assertion: When temperature of a liquid is increased, then its surface tension decreases.
Reason: Kinetic energy and oscillations of molecules increases, so intermolecular force of attraction decreases.
