AI Generated Solution

To answer the question, "Name the metal which floats on water without any apparent reaction with it," we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the properties of metals that float on water - Metals that can float on water must have a density less than that of water, which is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter. ### Step 2: Consider the alkali metals - Alkali metals are known for their low densities. Among them, we need to find one that has a density less than that of water. ...
