To solve the question "Name the metal which floats on water without any apparent reaction with it," we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the properties of metals We need to identify a metal that has a lower density than water, which has a density of approximately 1 g/cm³. Metals that are less dense than water will be able to float on its surface. **Hint:** Remember that density is the mass per unit volume, and a substance will float if its density is less than that of the fluid it is placed in. ### Step 2: Identify metals in the alkali group ...
