Answer 1

Answer:

1.Water striders are small insects that are adapted for life on top of still water, using surface tension to their advantage so they can “walk on water.” ... By repelling water, the tiny water striders stand on the water's surface and the captured airs allows them to float and move easily.

2.It seems to defy the laws of physics, but a paper clip made of steel can indeed float on the water surface. The high surface tension helps the paper clip - with much higher density - float on the water. The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension.
