Answer 1

Answer: Propertys of water that make this bug float on water has to do with the hydrogen bonds that water creates they hydrogen bonds are polar in H2O which creates a dipole dipole effect. Because water has a dipole dipole effect water sticks together and even though it's not necessarily bonding it creates a positive negative force, similar to magnets.
