Answer 1

Answer:

D) both the solid and the liquid phase

Explanation:

Metallic substances will conduct electricity in both the solid and liquid phase. Metals are generally conductors of heat and electricity.

• In metals there are free mobile electrons the enables the flow electricity.
• The free mobile electrons is utilized by the metals to conduct electricity.
• Metals generally have metallic bonds that holds their particles together.
• The metallic bonds enables metals to have a sea of delocalized electrons.
• Metals have a large atomic radius and larger electron pool.
