The liquid used in a manometer should have high density, low surface tension, and low viscosity. It should also be immiscible with the gas or liquid being measured.
ANS -- HIGH DENSITY

The liquid used in manometers should have high density so that the height of the column can be reduced. Because the manometers are used for high-pressure.

It should be low surface tension due to surface there will be rise or fall of liquid depending upon the contact angle and reading may be less accurate.

The diameter of manometer will be such that capillarity will not be seen. So what is the point in discussing about surface tension?

Higher surface tension enables less wetting of the tube and so these type of liquids are desirable in manimeters.

Should have high density to decrease the column height and due to which we can measure more range of pressure.

Should have liquid surface tension so that unnecessary rise can be avoided. Am I correct please comment.

Only two property high,
1. High density.
2. High boiling point.
Other than all property should low.
1. High density.
2. High boiling point.
Other than all property should low.

Should have low surface tension. But density should be high in order to decrease column length.

@Ahmed.
The Liquid should Stick the walls of tube-- represents high surface tension.
