C I hope I help good luck
Metals have the ability to conduct electricity.
Metals are lustrous, malleable, ductile and are good conductor of heat and electricity.
They conduct electricity because the electrons in metal are delocalized electrons and are free moving electrons so when they gain energy (heat) they vibrate more quickly and can move around, this means that they can pass on the energy more quickly.

Answer:</h3>
28.52 seconds
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Initial number of atoms of Nitrogen 12,000 atoms
Half-life = 7.13
Number of atoms after decay = 750 atoms
We are required to determine the time taken for the decay.
Note that half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay to a half of its original amount.
Using the formula;
Remaining amount = Initial amount × (1/2)^n , where n is the number of half lives
In our case;
750 atoms = 12,000 atoms × (1/2)^n
0.0625 = 0.5^n
n = log 0.0625 ÷ log 0.5
n = 4
But, 1 half life =7.13 seconds
Therefore;
Time taken = 7.13 seconds × 4
= 28.52 seconds
Therefore, the time taken for 12,000 atoms of nitrogen to decay to 750 atoms is 28.52 seconds
