A student is building an electrical circuit. Which material should she choose for the wires, and why? A. A noble gas such as krypton, because its atoms are far apart and it is nearly inert
B. A nonmetal such as carbon, because its atoms have tightly bound electrons
C. A metalloid such as germanium, because only some of its atoms have mobile electrons
D. A metal such as copper, because its atoms have very mobile electrons

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
