Silicon, it's bring brother would be the prime candidate, although its compounds are notably different from those of carbon.
Answer:
I think option (d) is right answer
Answer:
- <u><em>No, I would not consider a metal to be a plasma because plasma is just another state of matter, and the copper wire is in solid state.</em></u>
Explanation:
Metal is not a state of matter. Metals can be solid or liquid (molten) depending on their melting point and the temperature at which they are.
Plasma is a state of matter, similar to gas, but it is reached only at very high temperatures like in the Sun. The particles in plasma state are not neutral atoms or molecules but negatively charged ions and electrons.
The copper wire is yet a solid, thus it cannot be considered a plasma.
Metals can be in plasma state only if the temperature is too high, like the temperatures in the stars. In fact, the metals in the Sun and other hotter stars are in plasma state.
Answer:D. Compound.
Explanation:
A compound is defined as a pure substance: formed when two or more elements chemically combine to form bonds between their atoms.
A substance through which an electrical current flows poorly would be said to be a poor conductor. That is, the substance has a low conductance (or conductivity). There’s a nuance between the two terms, but it shouldn’t matter for our purposes.
Since such a material resists the flow of electric charge, the material can be said to have a high resistance (or high resistivity).
Mathematically, resistance and conductance are reciprocals of one another; a low conductance implies a high resistance, and a high conductance implies a low resistance.
