Answer: B (Items with densities lower than water will sink due to surface tension)

Explanation:

Surface tension is an intermolecular force exerted on the surface of water making it like a stretch elastic skin. Surface tension enables items with lesser densities than water, to float and slide on a water surface. Examples insects, leaves, paper etc

According to Archimedes principle an object denser than the fluid will sink. While objects less dense than the fluid will float.

Answer is (B) is false because items with densities higher then water will sink due to surface tension

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Group two elements are alkaline earth metal.

All these have two valance electrons. In order to achieve noble gas configuration it loses its two valance and get complete octet.

Reaction with group 16.

Reaction with oxygen,

They react with oxygen and form oxide.

2Ba + O₂ → 2BaO

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

this oxide form hydroxide when react with water,

BaO + H₂O → Ba(OH)₂

MgO + H₂O → Mg(OH)₂

CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂

With sulfur,

Mg + S → MgS

Ca + S → CaS

Ba + S → BaS

asambeis [7]

Answer: A convex lens is used to converge ligtht.

Explanation:

A concave lens is a lens that is thicker on the ends than in the middle. As consequence of this, a concave lens diverges (separate) the rays of light. A concave lens is also called diverging lens.

A convex lens is is thicker in the middle than on the ends. As consequence of this, a convex lense converge the parallel rays that pass through it. A convex lens is also called converging lens.
