Question

use the periodic table to select the element that best fits each of the following descriptions. which elements likely conduct electricity well? check all that apply. chromium iodine carbon calcium osmium retry

Explanation:

To determine which elements conduct electricity well, we use the periodic table and properties of elements:

1. Metals are good electrical conductors.

• Chromium (Cr) is a metal.
• Iodine (I) is a non - metal (halogen), poor conductor.
• Carbon (C) is a non - metal (except in forms like graphite, but as a general element, not a good conductor in all forms).
• Calcium (Ca) is an alkaline earth metal, good conductor.
• Osmium (Os) is a transition metal, good conductor.

1. So, chromium, calcium, and osmium are metals and likely conduct electricity well.

Answer:

A. chromium, D. calcium, E. osmium
