Based on its location on the periodic table, which element is the best
electrical conductor?

a. neon (ne)
b. oxygen (o)
c. magnesium (mg)
d. chlorine (ci)

Explanation:

       We wish to find the best electrical conductor among the given elements. Electrical conductivity of an element is high when current passes freely through it, i.e electrons flow freely in the element. This is possible only when the element has intrinsic free electrons in it's outer shell.

       Neon is in the Noble gases and hence it's outer shell is complete. There are no free electrons and hence Neon is electrically insulating.

       Oxygen and Chlorine are on the right side of the periodic table, with their outer most shells 2 and 1 electrons short of octet. Hence the electrons are not free but are tightly bound to the nucleus. Hence they are not good conductors.

       Magnesium is a Alkali-Earth metal. It has 2 electrons in excess of octet. These 2 electrons are free electrons. Hence, Magnesium is the best electrical conductor among the given options.

there are no correct statementd on the list of choices you provided.

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!
