Surface tension may be defined as 

(1) The work done per unit area in increasing the surface area of a liquid under isothermal condition

(2) The work done per unit area in increasing the surface area of a liquid under adiabatic condition

(3) The work done per unit area in increasing the surface area of a liquid under both isothermal and adiabatic conditions

(4) Free surface energy per unit volume

The energy needed to break a drop of radius \(R\) into \(n\) drops of radii \(r\) is given by:
