Water cannot wet the wax and thus its surface tension pulls it into small balls.

Water apparently can wet some material of the table top so it spreads out in a wide thin layer.

Matter is made of tiny particles and these particles are always moving then why do objects such as a table a cup not move?

There are three types of matter; solid matter, liquid matter and gas matter. They are all made up of particles which are the building blocks of matter. Particles in a Gas matter are randomly separated, they are a bit far apart form each other, so they are able to move around efficiently. Particles in liquid matter are less separated from each other, they are closer to each, so there degree of mobility is limited. Particles in solid matter are packed close together and rigity and immobile. A table and a cup and objects of the types are solid matter so they are unable to move around.

What are the relationships between mechanical potential and kinetic energy?

People can improve me, but kinetic energy is the energy of motion and particles speed of a substance. So in otherwords if you had a textbook sitting on the table, it has potential energy, but if you push it off the table it then sort of has kinetic energy.
