Values of surface tension of most of organic liquids are of the same order of magnitude. The natural explanation for this lies in the fact that surface tension is governed by London dispersion forces, which are independent of the permanent dipole moment of molecules. The surface tension of organic liquids (with the exception of polymers and polymer solutions) depends on the ionization potential and the diameter of the molecule only. These parameters vary slightly for organic liquids.
