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
Answer: Magnesium and Bromine/MgBr2 = Ionic compounds
Explanation: When atoms form together they can form between Ionic Compounds and molecules; this could depend on if they're joined by Covalent bonds as well because when atoms form with Covalent bonds, it forms Molecules.
Answer:
It’s true
Explanation:
If we account for all reactants and products in a chemical reaction, the total mass will be the same at any point in time in any closed system. ... The Law of Conservation of Mass holds true because naturally occurring elements are very stable at the conditions found on the surface of the Earth.
