For an object to conduct electricity it should have free or delocalised electrons that are free to pass the charge and hence take part in conducting electricity.
From the given choices
Chlorine is a halogen existing as a diatomic gas. Iodine too is a halogen and 2 Iodine atoms held together by covalent bond. Cl - Cl bonds and I-I bonds are covalent bonds. the outer electrons of Cl and I take part in covalent bonds therefore they are fixed and not free to move about. therefore no free electrons to conduct electricity.
Sulfur is a solid that too is held together by covalent bonds so it does not have free electrons to conduct electricity.
Silver is a metal and a general property of metals are their ability to conduct electricity.
metal structure are metal ions tightly packed together. when the metal atoms are tightly packed their valence electrons are removed and delocalised. Positively charged metal ions are embedded in a sea of delocalised electrons.
therefore there are delocalised electrons that can conduct electricity
answer is 3) silver
I believe it is D. Hope this helps you!
1. 2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)⇒2AlCl₃(aq)+3H₂(g)
2. 2AgNO₃ (aq) + Cu (s)⇒Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag (s)
3. 2C₃H₈O(l) + 9O₂(g) ⇒ 6CO₂(g) + 8H₂O(g)
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
There are several reactions that can occur in a chemical reaction: single replacement, double replacement, synthesis, decomposition or combustion, etc.
1.Al(s)+HCl(aq)⇒AlCl₃(aq)+H₂(g)
type : single replacement
balance :
2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)⇒2AlCl₃(aq)+3H₂(g)
2. AgNO₃ (aq) + Cu (s) ⇒ Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag (s)
type : single replacement
balance :
2AgNO₃ (aq) + Cu (s)⇒Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag (s)
3. C₃H₈O + O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + H₂O
type : combustion of alcohol
balance :
2C₃H₈O(l) + 9O₂(g) ⇒ 6CO₂(g) + 8H₂O(g)
Answer:
Answer is given below.
Explanation:
Anode is that electrode where oxidation occurs. Cathode is that electrode where reduction occurs.
In cell representation, half cell present left to salt-bridge notation
is anodic system and another half cell present right to salt-bridge notation is cathodic system.
So anode is Cu and cathode is Ag.
oxidation: 
[reduction: 
]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
chemical equation: 
Oxidizing agent is that species which takes electron from another species. Here 
takes electron from Cu. Hence is the oxidizing agent.
Reducing agent is that species which gives electron to another species. Here Cu gives electron to . Hence Cu is the reducing agent.
