Answer : The correct option is, (B) Germanium

Explanation :

As we know that the material are divided into three categories which are conductors, insulators and semiconductors.

Conductors : It is a type of substance which conduct electricity that means it allow the electrons to flow through them.

Example of conductors are, iron, aluminium, gold, etc.

Insulators : It is a type of substance which does not conduct electricity that means it does not allow the electrons to flow through them.

Examples of insulators are, glass, rubber, ceramics, etc.

Semiconductors : It is a type of substance which conduct electricity under certain conditions that means it allow the electrons to flow through them. The conductivity level of semiconductors lie between the conductors and the insulators.

The good examples of semiconductors are silicon, germanium, gallium, and  selenium.

In the given options, aluminium, gold are the metals which conduct electricity and concrete is an insulator which do not conduct electricity while the germanium is the good semiconductor.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) Germanium

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

B.sea floor spreading

Explanation:

The creation of new crusts at the middle of the mid- ocean ridges is also sea floor spreading.

The process of sea floor spreading entails the creation of new crusts at the margin of the oceanic crusts.

Basaltic materials from the subsurface upwells to the surface.

They cool and solidifies to form new crusts. The old crust is moved behind and away from the margin. This way, sea floor is formed and it spreads in like manner.

At this margin sea floor is created and at a convergent margin, it is destroyed.

Atoms of nonmetals have a tendency to __ or__ electrons when they react.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:Atoms of nonmetals have a tendency to gain or share electrons when they react.

Explanation: Non-metals are elements that gain electron to form negatively charged ions known as anions.

When non-metals react, they either gain/accept electron from a metal atom or share electron with another non-metal atom. When a non-metal accepts an electron from a metal atom, the type of bond formed is called ionic or electrovalent bond. In electrovalent bond, the metal atom transfers its valence electrons to the non-metal atom so that both attain a stable octet or duplet structure.

When a non-metal shares electron with another non-metal atom, the type of bond formed is known as covalent bond. In covalent bond, the two non-metal atoms share a pair of electron, each atom donating one electron to form a pair.

why does the complexity of gene regulation mirror the complexity of the organism in which it is found?​
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Organisms that are more complex, such as eukaryotes, have cells that are specialized for specific functions. Gene regulation needs to be more complex to produce these specialized cells for complex organisms. Please Mark Me Brainliest
