Which property of water allows a water strider to walk on water?

adhesion of water molecules to other kinds of molecules
water’s high surface tension
the formation of covalent bonds between water molecules

1 answer

The property of water that allows a water strider to walk on water is water’s high surface tension. This high surface tension is a result of the cohesive forces between water molecules, which create a "film" on the surface that can support small insects like water striders.
