The magnitude of surface tension of a liquid depends on the attractive forces between the molecules. Arrange the following in increasing order of surface tension: Water,alcohol $(C_2H_5OH)$,and hexane $(CH_3(CH_2)_4CH_3)$.

  • A
    Hexane < Alcohol < Water
  • B
    Water < Alcohol < Hexane
  • C
    Alcohol < Hexane < Water
  • D
    Hexane < Water < Alcohol
