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

One of the radioactive isotopes used in medical treatment or analysis is chromium-51. The half-life of chromium-51 is 28 days. H
Goryan [66]

Answer : The time required for decay is, 84 days.

Explanation :

Half-life of chromium-51 = 28 days

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{28\text{ days}}

k=0.0248\text{ days}^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the time required for decay.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken by sample = ?

a = let initial activity of the sample = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process  = 12.5

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

t=\frac{2.303}{0.0248}\log\frac{100}{12.5}

t=83.9\text{ days}\approx 84\text{ days}

Therefore, the time required for decay is, 84 days.

What is the bond order for a single covalent bond?​
hram777 [196]

Answer:

We typically represent covalent bonds with a dash ( - ) between the atoms. This indicates a single bond. Ex: Cl - Cl

Single bond, double bond, triple bond.

Explanation:

We call it a single covalent bond because the atoms are sharing a single pair of electrons.
