Salty Water (Highest)When salt ($NaCl$) dissolves in water, it dissociates into ions ($Na^+$ and $Cl^-$). These ions have strong electrostatic attractions with the polar water molecules. This increases the intermolecular forces within the liquid, making the "skin" on the surface stronger and increasing the surface tension compared to pure water.
