Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A metal which has the largest size and the most valence electrons would have the highest conductivity because the larger is the size of a metal the more freely electrons can move in it. Hence, the metal can conduct electricity.

If the atom is smaller in size then the electrons will be tightly held around the nucleus and hence they won't be able to move freely. Therefore, they will not conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that the atom with the largest radius and the most valence electrons would have the highest conductivity.

Water and minerals move up the xylem because of a vacuum created by _____.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The right answer is B) evaporation

Explanation:

Transpiration occurs at the leaf surface which is the loss of water due to the evaporation. This phenomenon works as trigger of water and mineral movement above to the xylem. Due to the evaporation of water at the leaf, negative pressure is created at the surface of leaf. Tension is produced which results in the pull of water from roots up to the xylem vessels.
