Answer:
Mosquitos can stand on water because;
A. The mosquito is able to walk on the water due to the attraction between multiple water molecules, creating surface tension
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface Tension is the surface property of a liquid which is due to the cohesive forces of attraction between its molecules, that enables it to withstand an external shearing force
The molecules in a liquid maintain a cohesive force between adjacent molecules that keeps all the molecules together such that the liquid has a defined volume
On the surface of the liquid, the cohesive forces between the molecules are shared by only between the adjacent molecules and molecules which are under the surface, and therefore, the attraction is much stronger such that the surface of the liquid is in tension, which is called the surface tension of the liquid
Therefore, the mosquito is able to walk on the water due to the attraction between multiple water molecules, creating surface tension.
