Why Do Water Striders Walk On Water

The reason why a water strider can walk on water is because of its mass, surface area, and covalent bonds. Water striders have little hairs on their legs, (like spiders so that they can walk on their web.) These little hairs act as little bubble blowers in a way; The little hairs push water away, and since the hairs are so small and that water striders are small, they can float on water.
Water striders are able to do this because of their light weight, relatively low mass, and a covalent
