Why would a pin float if you just dropped it in water?

Because of surface tension on the top of the water. Surface tension is when the water molecules stick together allowing a small, light object to "float" on the surface. If you genitally pushed on the pin after is settled on the water, you would break the surface tension and the pin would sink.


Why does that a small pin sinks in water?

Because the pin is more dense than the water. Density and weight aren't the same thing. A feather, for example, has less density than the water so it would float.


Why a pin or clip keep floating on water?

This happens because like us water has a skin and if you place a pin flat on the water and don't disturb the "skin" the pin will float as it is resting on the "skin" of the water, whereas, if you had to attempt to place the pin with the point facing down it will break/pierce the "skin" of the water and sink to the bottom and not rest on top because it experiences buoyancy which is more than its weight


A straight pin floats on water?

Normally no. But if you carefully set the pin on some still water, yes it can 'float' on the water due to what's called surface tension. This is also what causes a small amount of water on a smooth surface to 'bead'. It's also what keeps water beetles on top of the water in ponds.
