Water bugs have the unique ability to walk on water by not breaking water's surface tension. Which property of water is responsible for this unique phenomenon?

High surface tension and cohesion

Explanation:

This is the characteristic properties of water which provide  surface medium for the walking of water bugs. The effects of this is due forces of attraction between the water molecules and the adjacent molecules The network of inter molecular forces  created a net inward forces (cohesion)which leads to the contraction of water molecules at the surface.Therefore these molecules resist pulls and stretch and therefore are stabilized,

Surface tension is due to the formation of hydrogen bonds among water molecules,together with the dipole-dipole interactions .These two combined forces ensure the the formation of surface tension .

Therefore the combined effect of surface tension and cohesion ensure the movement of water bug

high surface tension

Explanation:

due to the attraction between water molecules
