The bottom isomer is expected to have the lower surface tension. Why would this be? Choose the best and most
complete answer.
The bottom isomer has less electrons so it will have weaker dispersion forces leading
to a lower surface tension.
O The bottom isomer is compact.
The bottom isomer has a smaller surface area to make dispersion forces leading to a lower surface
tension.
The bottom isomer has a smaller surface area to make hydrogen bonding forces so it has
a lower surface tension.
