Hydrogen bond that causes the surface tension in water. Can it be formed outside of water to create a barrier for other fluids or even gases?

Yes, it happens in many oils as well.

All liquids have surface tension. This is the property that holds them together. Surface tension is the result of gravitational attraction between objects that have mass.

tension is the restoring force developed in a string when it is pulled and surface tension is the tension on the surface of liquid by vitue of which it tries to acquire minimum surface area i.e. spherical shape..i hope it helped you

Yep, look at liquid mercury. It's surface tension is much stronger than that of H2O therefore it tends to bead up more.

yes, absolutely. You can see it very easily with mercury & oil. You can also see in other common liquids such as coffee, orange juice in your cups, etc.
