Question

Which properties make a metal a good material to use for electrical wires? malleability and reactivity , conductivity and ductility,  ductility and malleability, and reactivity and conductivity

Answer 1

it is conductivity and ductility. ductility is the ability of metals to be drawn into wires while conductivity is how well it conducts electricity.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metals are the substances which readily lose electrons in their ground state in order to attain stability.

As it is known that electricity is the flow of electrons and since, metals are able to lose electrons hence, they provide flow of electrons. Therefore, metals are able to conduct heat and electricity.

Also, metals show the property of malleability and ductility. That is, they can be drawn into thin sheets and wires.

Thus, we can conclude that the properties of conductivity and ductility make a metal a good material to use for electrical wires.
