Liquid microdrops with the Lennard-Jones potential have been investigated by the molecular dynamics technique. The temperature dependence of energy and the influence of temperature, volume, and the number of molecules on the density profile and the pressure tensor profile have been studied. The surface tension and the radii of the equimolecular surface and the surface of tension have been calculated. The surface tension has been shown to increase when the drop size decreases.
