Question
Which of the following solids has the highest electrical conductivity?A.CopperB.QuartzC.SugarD.Sodium chlorideSUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS
Solution
The solid with the highest electrical conductivity among the options given is A. Copper.
Here's why:
A. Copper - Copper is a metal and metals are known for their high electrical conductivity because they have free electrons that can move easily, facilitating the flow of electric current.
B. Quartz - Quartz is a form of silicon dioxide, a covalent network solid. It does not conduct electricity well because it does not have free electrons or ions.
C. Sugar - Sugar is a covalent molecular solid. It does not conduct electricity because it does not have free electrons or ions.
D. Sodium
