Answer:

(i) 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.

Explanation:

Copper atoms has loosely held electrons in their outer shell. These electrons are not permanently associated with the copper atoms, instead They make a cloud around the outside of these atoms and are able to move freely and quickly through the solid.  

Option (ii) cannot be selected because copper is a good conductor. For the conductivity, free movement of electrons is a condition which is unsatisfied in the (iii). In (iv), it is given that copper has 1 electron in the outermost shell which can flow to the other copper atoms which is not true because in copper many atoms can flow to other atoms.

The histogram below shows the number of downloads of a song over time.
Allisa [31]

Given data:

  • It is a graphical display where the data is grouped in to ranges
  • A diagram consists rectangles, whose area is proportional to frequency of a variable and whose width is equal to the class interval.
  • It is an accurate representation of the distribution of numerical data.

<em>From Figure:</em>  

        Each box in the graph (small rectangle box) is assumed to be one download. So, in the graph the time between 8 p.m to 9 p.m, the number of downloads are 8.75 approximately (because the last box is incomplete, therefore 8 complete boxes and 9th is more than half).

<em>So, We conclude that the total number of downloads are approximately 9 in the time span of 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.</em>
