Astudent places a small amount of water in a glass dish and then carefully places a small paperclip on the surface of the water. the paperclip floats. what happens if the student adds a drop or two of dish soap to the water? explain your answer.

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.

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.
