1. Surface tension of simple bodies
Table 1 shows the surface tensions of the elements. As very few critical temperatures are known, because they are at very high temperatures, they have often been estimated from surface tension data and their variations with temperature, using the relationship (2) and writing that the surface tension is zero at the critical point, for a given compound.
