Interpretation:

The key term corresponding to the definition “the tendency of a liquid to form spherical drops” is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The atoms or molecules at the surface of the liquid are considered as a film. The atoms or molecules in bulk imply a force on the atoms or molecules which are present at the surface of the liquid. They tend to minimize the surface area of the liquid. This phenomenon is known as the surface tension of the liquid.
