Which statement is true regarding copper's ability to conduct electricity? Select one: A. Copper is a good conductor of electric

ity because its atoms have a loosely held electron in their outer shell that is able to move freely to other atoms. B. Copper is a poor conductor of electricity because its atoms are held in positions that cannot move. C. Copper is a good conductor of electricity because its atoms have electrons that are tightly bound to their shells and will resist movement. D. Copper is a poor conductor of electricity because it has a free electron in its outer shell that will flow to other copper atoms.

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Copper is a transition metal and its atomic number is 29. The electrons in its shell are distributed as 2, 8, 18, 1.

As there is only one electron in the outer most shell and as it is far away from the nucleus, therefore, it is a loosely held electron. Also being a metal, copper is a good conductor of heat and electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the statement copper is a good conductor of electricity because its atoms have a loosely held electron in their outer shell that is able to move freely to other atoms is true regarding copper's ability to conduct electricity.

What type of plate boundary do most volcanoes occur along
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Subducting convergent boundary

Explanation:

Generally, volcanoes occurs in both divergent and convergent boundaries. But the convergent boundary it occurs is usually associated with subduction.

Divergent boundary, plates move away from each other creating a new crust in the process. The diverging plates creates the space for magma to be squeezed through cracks and fissures. The magma's erupt to form volcanoes. In the Atlantic ocean the spreading of the plates causes an upwelling of magma through the crest of the Atlantic ridges. New oceanic crust are formed through this process. Sometimes the magma eruption forms volcanoes  that are higher than the sea level.

Convergent boundary , plates collides with each other . But in the case of volcanoes existence , the collision should be between a denser  plate(oceanic plates) and a less dense plates(continental plates) so that subduction can take place. The subducted plates (oceanic plates)  creates trenches and get expose to high temperature and pressure as it sinks toward the mantle. The upper mantle rocks melts and migrate to the earth surface forming volcanoes . Over 75% of the volcanoes occur along the pacific basin where convergent boundary is dominant. Pacific ring of fire has one of the most number of volcanoes.

A highly volatile substance has an initial mass of 1200 g and its mass is reduced by 12% each second.
Softa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) 1.00 - 0.12 = 0.88

m = 1200(0.88)^t

b) t = ln(m/1200) / ln(0.88)

c) m = 1200(0.88)^10 = 334.20 g

d) t = ln(10/1200) / ln(0.88) = 37.451... = 37 s

e) t = ln(1/1200) / ln(0.88) = 55.463... = 55 s
