I believe that adding soap will make the paperclip fall through the water to the base of the dish. Soap is a surfactant, which decreases the surface pressure of the water. The surface strain of water is what upheld the paperclip in the first place, so with the decrease in surface pressure the paper clip will fall.

Include: 
- Adding cleanser makes the paperclip fall through the water to the base of the dish. 
- Soap is a surfactant. 
- Surfactants lessen the surface pressure of a fluid. 
- The surface strain of water is the thing that upheld the paper cut.

How cations can become neutral atoms?​
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons and that means that the electric charge of the atom is neutral or otherwise known as zero. However, if a particular atom loses an electron, the atom becomes positively charged because there is more protons than electrons.
THIS IS CALLED A CATION.
