Element atomic number position
Ba 56 group 2, period 6
Ca 12 group 2, period 3
S 16 group 16, period 3
Si `14 group 14, period 3
Now, you need to know the properties of the different type of elements and the tendencies on the periodic table.
The metallic elements are, those placed on the left side of the periodic table, are the ones that release an electron more easily, so they will requiere less energy to give it up when forming chemical bonds.
The higher the metallic character the less the energy need to give up an electron.
The metallic character grows as the group number decreases (goes to the left) period increases (goes downward), so among the elements considered, Barium will require the least amount of energy to give un an electron when forming chemical bonds.
I think it’s the third option
The metallic pan iis most likely going to be used on a stove.
The stove is heating something, and the conductive metallic pan will, well, conduct that heat throughout the entire body of the pan. Doing this will spread the heat to the handle, burning your hands.
Both wood and plastic are insulators, and they do not conduct heat or electricity. They will insulate your hands and protect them from the heat.
I would say the answer is C
hope this helps :)
