How does hydrogen bonding produce the surface tension phenomenon of water?
Expert Solution
Introduction

                Hydrogen bonding is an interaction involving a hydrogen atom located between a pair of other atoms having a high affinity for electrons. The water molecule is polar in nature, having uneven distribution of electron density enables the oxygen atom of one molecule to the hydrogen atom of another molecule. The bonds formed in this process are called hydrogen bonds.
