"Surface tension in water owes to the fact that water molecules attract one another, as each molecule forms a bond with the ones in its vicinity."
Surface tension is a bond that binds water mold together similar to how mortar holds bricks together in a wall.
Mortar doesn't make the brick solid, but it holds the bricks together.
People are reading bond in two different ways. Bond within a molecule vs bond between molecules.
