Fill a glass with water above the rim. It forms a domed surface. Add a paper clip and watch it float, even though the paper clip

is made of a metal that is denser than water. This is due to water's surface tension. Water has several very unique properties, like surface tension, cohesion, and adhesion because water

Answer: Water is polar and every water molecule electrically attracts the neighboring water molecules

Explanation:

The water molecules are polar molecules and attract the neighboring water molecules, this property of water is known as surface tension.

This property allows the substances to float on the water surface. One water molecule gets attracted towards the other molecule. This is due to the property of hydrogen bonding.

Water is a polar molecule and attracts the substances like that only.The metal clip will float on water before of strong bonding between the water molecules.
