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.

Materials are transferred between individual cells and their internal environment through the cell membrane by diffusion, osmosis, and active transport. During diffusion and osmosis, molecules move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis: Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane from a dilute solution into a concentrated solution. Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. This would be the diffusion.

Which of the following is not a property of a covalent bond?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Have high melting points and high boiling points.

Explanation:

  • Covalent bonds are types of chemical bonds that result from the sharing of electrons between non-metal atoms.
  • Covalent bonds result in the formation of covalent compounds.
  • Covalent compounds are characterized by low melting and boiling points.
  • Therefore, it won't be true to say they have high melting and boiling points.
  • Other properties of covalent bonds include poor conductors of electricity and heat, gases or liquids at room temperature, and are non-polar compounds among others.
