Question

which of the following is a characteristic of solid silver? a. high electrical conductivity b. low melting point c. brittleness d. good insulator

Explanation:

Silver is a metal. Metals generally have high electrical conductivity (due to free electrons), high melting points, are malleable (not brittle), and are good conductors (not insulators). So option A is correct as solid silver has high electrical conductivity. Option B is wrong as silver has a relatively high melting point. Option C is wrong as silver is malleable, not brittle. Option D is wrong as silver is a good conductor, not an insulator.

Answer:

A. High electrical conductivity
