How does electrical conduction compare between metals, nonmetals, and metalloids

Physics
1 answer:
zhuklara [117]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

metal> metalloids >nonmetals    (Electrical conductivity)

Explanation:

Electrical conductivity of objects can be compared by the bonding energy of electrons in them.

Metals have less bonding energy of electrons, so even at room temperature their are significant number of free electrons to carry electrical current.

Nonmetals have a very high bonding energy of electrons, so  at room temperature negligible number of free electrons are present so electrical conductivity is very low.

Metalloids have both metallic and non metallic features. The electron bonding energy falls in between that of metals and nonmetals. So electrical conductivity also lies in between metals and nonmetals.

Answer: Erosion or water level rising

Explanation: Erosion happens when water goes against a rock and breaks it down little by little so these mountains may have once been above water but became eroded. Also, people might’ve added so much pollution into the ocean that the water level rose or there was an increase in the population of large animals. Sorry for my very long answer lol
