Which mechanism causes increased liquid H₂O surface tension, rather than vapor?

💡 Explanation

Intermolecular surface tension elevates because adhesion due to hydrogen bonding concentrates molecules, therefore increasing attraction at near the liquid-air interface, rather than if molecules had no polarity or only covalent connections.
