    Study Notes

    Surface Energy Units

    • Surface energy is measured in Joules per square meter (J/m²).
    • This unit reflects the energy required to create a new surface area.
    • An alternative unit for surface energy is ergs per square centimeter (erg/cm²).

    Surface Energy Dimensions

    • The dimension of surface energy is [M L¹ T⁻²].
    • This translates to mass (M), length (L), and time (T).
    • Surface tension is directly related to surface energy.
    • Intermolecular forces play a crucial role in determining surface energy.
    • Wettability is a phenomenon influenced by surface energy.

    High Surface Energy

    • A high surface energy indicates a material's strong attraction between molecules.
    • This results in a tendency to minimize surface area, leading to phenomena like capillary action and cohesion.
