Surface tension of liquids is exactly the same thing as suface energy in solids and is a due to the attraction between molecules that cause a material to be a liquid or solid rather than a gas (no attraction between molecules). Surface tension decreases with temperature up to the boiling point where surface tension approaches zero.

The surface tension is zero at the critical point, not the boiling point.
