Explanation / Answer

According to the molecular interpretation of surface tension, the molecule at the surface will have a net force acting downward (towards the bulk).Higher the polarity of the molecule, stronger will be the interaction and consequently surface tension will also be very high since the force acting downward will aslo be very high.

The increasing order of polarity of the given liquids is-

water > ethylene glycol > 1-butanol > 2-butanone > n-pentane

Therefore increasing order of surface tension is-

water > ethylene glycol > 1-butanol > 2-butanone > n-pentane
