Question

water spider insect slides on the water surface easily Give reason?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Water molecules are attracted to each other and like to stay together, especially on the surface where there is only air above. ... The legs have tiny hairs that repel water and capture air. By repelling water, the tiny water striders stand on the water's surface and the captured airs allows them to float and move easily.

Answer 2

Water spiders are small insects that have evolved to live on top of still water using surface tension.

Explanation:

• Legs of water spiders have tiny hairs that repel water and capture air. At the surface, water behaves differently.
• Water molecules are attracted to each other and like to stay together, especially on the surface where there is only air above.
• The attraction between water molecules creates tension and forms a very delicate membrane. Water spiders slide on this membrane.
