Which element would be the most conductive and
Masja [62]
Malleability described the property of physical deformation under some compressive stress; a malleable material could, for example, be hammered into thin sheets. Malleability is generally a property of metallic elements: The atoms of elemental metals in the solid state are held together by a sea of indistinguishable, delocalized electrons. This also partially accounts for the generally high electrical and thermal conductivity of metals.

In any case, only one of the elements listed here is a metal, and that’s copper. Moreover, the other elements (hydrogen, neon, and nitrogen) are gases under standard conditions, and so their malleability wouldn’t even be a sensible consideration.

The chart shows the voltage of four electric currents.
masha68 [24]

Answer: The correct option is Current W flows at a higher rate than Current Z.

Explanation: To answer this question, we will require Ohm's law.

Ohm's Law states that the current flowing through a conductor across two points is directly proportional to the voltage difference across that two points.

Mathematically,

V=IR

where, V = voltage

I = Current

R = resistance

For the given question, assuming that the resistance is constant. So, the current is directly proportional to the voltage.

V\propto I

Hence, as the current W is greater of all the given currents so, it will flow at a higher rate.

Therefore, the correct answer is Current W flows at a higher rate than Current Z.
