Question
Which element in each of the following pairs is the better electrical conductor?$\begin{array}{llll}{\text { (a) } \mathrm{B} \text { or Ga }} & {\text { (b) In or S }} & {\text { (c) Pb or } \mathrm{P}}\end{array}$
Step 1
The electrical conductivity of an element is determined by its ability to allow the flow of electrons. Metals are generally good conductors of electricity because they have free electrons that can move easily. Show more…
