Question

Which statement explains why a strip of silver is a better electrical conductor

Answer 1

Answer:

Silver atoms share their outer electrons much more freely than

silicon atoms do.

Explanation:

Metals are known to share their outer electrons readily. For this reason metals are known to be electro positive.

Metals are good conductors of electricity because they share their outer electrons readily.

Silver is a metal and silicon is not a metal hence silver is a better electrical conductor

than a strip of silicon because Silver atoms share their outer electrons much more freely than silicon atoms do.
