Nichrome wire. That's the stuff that toasters are made from. The resistance is pretty high, considering the diameter. 1 meter is at about the same guage as that listed below for copper is about 96 ohms.
Most of the time you are trying to use wire with the least resistance.
A meter of copper has a listed resistance of 0.024 ohms / meter. The wire is a 19 guage wire which makes it pretty thin.
===============
I'm not sure what you are asking. If want the resistance of something in terms of what would increase the resistance of the same material for both calculations then
Rule 1: It you decrease the wire diameter, you increase the resistance
Rule 2: If you increase the length of the wire, you increase the resistance.
Both rules assume you are using something like copper.
If you give us the situation described then I'll be able to help.
Answer:
When argon changes from a gas to a liquid, the forces between the molecules become stronger so the particles become closer together and come into come into contact more often. The particles move at a less faster rate as the have less kinetic energy due to decrease in temperature. When argon changes from a liquid to a solid, the forces become even stronger so the particles are arranged in fixed positions and vibrate around a fixed point as they cannot move past each other
