Answered

which compound would you expect to have greater surface tension, acetone [(ch3)2co] or water (h2o) ?

Answer :

The surface tension depends on the intermolecular forces, and it rises as the strength of those forces rises. Hydrogen bonds are present in water in acetone, but not the other way around. Water, therefore, has a high surface tension.

The only other liquid with a higher surface tension than water is mercury. A sign that the hydrogen bond is present is surface tension. Hydrogen bonds between the water molecules below them and those at the surface of the water create a powerful attraction between them.
