The potential energy of molecules in the surface of liquid is called the surface energy.
Surface energy = T * delta(A)
where, T = surface tension of liquid
delta(A) = increase in surface area
A molecule in the surface of liquid possesses more potential energy than a molecule in the interior of liquid.
