Surface tension
In physics, surface tension is a force present within the surface layer of a liquid that causes the layer to behave as an elastic sheet. It is the force that supports insects that walk on water, for example.
The property of water allowing some insects and other animals to walk on its surface is called "surface tension".
Certain insects (ones with a very light weight) are able to walk on water as their weight does not break the surface tension of the water. Water has a very high surface tension, therefore easily breaking and not supporting weight above a certain limit.
Its mostly due to Surface Tensions, keeping them balanced on the water.

Oxygen supports combustion and undergoes a chemical change in which it becomes incorporated into carbon dioxide and water. CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O
surface tension
has surface tension that allows them to distribute their weight evenly and essentially float on the surface. The surface tension of water is due to the hydrogen bonding between water molecules. This unique property of water allows certain insects like water striders to walk on water without sinking.

Water striders, belonging to the family Gerridae, comprise around 75 species characterized by their ability to walk on water due to surface tension. These insects are commonly found on ponds, lakes, and slow-moving streams. They possess long legs adapted for gliding over water surfaces, and they primarily feed on small insects that fall onto the water. Some well-known species include the common water strider (Gerris lacustris) and the marine water strider (Halobates spp.).
