Answer:

A

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that <u>the wire is a conductor and the cover is an insulator.</u>

The wire inside an electrical cord is made up of metals and metals are generally considered to be good conductors of heat and electricity. The cover which is made of plastic or rubber, however, are known to be poor conductor of electricity. <em>Hence, the wire are considered to be conductors of electricity while the rubber covers act as insulators to protect users from getting electrocuted. </em>

The correct option is A.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Animals need food, water, shelter, and space to survive. Herbivores can live only where plant food is available. Carnivores can live only where they can catch their food. Omnivores can live in many places because they eat both plants and animals.

Classify each of the following as a path function or a state function.
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Work  = Path function.

Energy  = State function.

Distance traveled  = Path function.

Enthalpy  = State function.

Heat = Path function.

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, a state function is a property whose value does not depend on the path taken to reach that specific function or value, as in this case, energy and enthalpy.

On the other hand, path functions are functions that depend on the path taken to reach that specific value, as in this case, work, distance traveled and heat since different paths will provide different values for each one of them.

Best regards.

a) Group 2 elements have 2 electrons on their outer shell, so they form a 2+ charge.

b) they lose 2 electrons as they are transferred to the non metal.

c)They obtain this charge as when they are made into an ionic compound the 2 electrons on the outer shell are transferred to the non metal, meaning there are 2 more protons that electrons, giving it a positive charge.

hope this helps! :)
