The high surface tension helps the paper clip - with much higher density - float on the water. The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules.
Basically it means that there is a sort of skin on the surface of water where the water molecules hold on tight together. If the conditions are right, they can hold tight enough to support your paper clip. The paperclip is not truly floating, it is being held up by the surface tension.
<u>Answer:</u> The true statement is iron can reduce
to gold metal
<u>Explanation:</u>
Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.
The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.
We are given:
Iron can reduce copper, silver can reduce gold, sodium can reduce iron and copper can reduce silver metal.
The increasing order of reactivity thus follows:

where, sodium is most reactive and gold is least reactive
For the given options:
<u>Option 1:</u> Copper cannot easily reduce sodium ion to sodium metal because it is less reactive.

<u>Option 2:</u> Iron cant easily reduce gold ion to gold metal because it is more reactive.

<u>Option 3:</u> Silver cannot easily reduce iron ion to iron metal because it is less reactive.

Hence, the true statement is iron can reduce
to gold metal
Answer : The energy released by an electron in a mercury atom to produce a photon of this light must be, 
Explanation : Given,
Wavelength = 
conversion used : 
Formula used :

As, 
So, 
where,
= frequency
h = Planck's constant = 
= wavelength = 
c = speed of light = 
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:


Therefore, the energy released by an electron in a mercury atom to produce a photon of this light must be, 
Both A and B are the answer.
