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.

Explanation:

This type of engine changes the possition of the piston in order to modify the compression chamber volume and therefore the compression ratio of the engine. The volume of the chamber is proportional to the run of the piston (how far down the piston travels)

This engine is used to achive the optimal compression rate in each individual stage.
