Answer:
A. Iron
Read Explanation:
The notable metals that do not form an amalgam with mercury are:
Iron (Fe)
Platinum (Pt)
Tungsten (W)
Tantalum (Ta)
An amalgam is an alloy created when mercury dissolves another metal. Iron is an exception because its electronic configuration makes it highly stable, meaning mercury cannot easily wet, dissolve, or react with its surface. Because of this chemical resistance, liquid mercury is traditionally stored and transported in iron flasks.
