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

It would be Silver because it is metal.

Do subatomic particles have mass
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Masses for the three subatomic particles can be expressed in amu (atomic mass units) or grams. For simplicity, we will use the amu unit for the three subatomics. Both neutrons and protons are assigned as having masses of 1 amu each.

a solid with a low melting point is most likely what? A.ionic B. covalent C. metallic or D. None of the above.
ziro4ka [17]
The correct answer of the given question above would be option D. None of the above. When a solid has a low melting point, it is most likely a simple molecular substance. When it is ionic, covalent or metallic, it is already considered as a solid with a high melting point.

If you double the volume of a sample of gas and then doubled the volume again without changing its pressure, how would this abso
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

Increasing Volume while maintaining constant pressure requires a proportional increase in Temperature so the gas pressure will be maintained as constant.

Consider...

V₁ = V₁     V₂ = 4V₁

T₁ = T₁      T₂ = ?

Charles Law => T ∝ V at constant P ... that is, increasing temperature generates a proportional increase in volume to maintain constant pressure.

Empirical Charles Law Relation is ...

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂ => T₂ = T₁(V₂/V₁) = T₁(4V₁/V₁) = 4T₁

Increasing Volume of a gas by 4 times requires a 4 times increase in absolute temperature in order to maintain constant pressure.
