Two droplets merge with each other and forms a large droplet. In this process
Energy is liberated
Energy is absorbed
Neither liberated nor absorbed
Some mass is converted into energy
As we learnt in
Surface energy -
The energy required to increase the surface area of the liquid by one unit is defined as surface energy.
-
When two droplets merge with each other, their surface energy decreases.
