Metallic Bonding

Question 3 • Chemistry 1A - Mr. Kaan

Which element would be the most conductive and malleable?

Answer
A
copper
B
hydrogen
C
neon
D
nitrogen

Explanation

Copper is a metal, and metals generally conduct electricity well and can be shaped without breaking, which is what malleable means. Hydrogen, neon, and nitrogen are gases at ordinary conditions and do not have the same combination of high electrical conductivity and malleability. Therefore, copper is the most conductive and malleable choice.
