Question

Which lists the elements in order from most conductive to least conductive?

potassium (K), selenium (Se), germanium (Ge)
germanium (Ge), potassium (K), selenium (Se)
selenium (Se), germanium (Ge), potassium (K)
potassium (K), germanium (Ge), selenium (Se)

Answer 1

Explanation:

• most conductive - potassium (K).

• least conductive- germanium(Ge).

Answer 2

• From the given question the correct option is as follows.

• Potassium (K), Germanium (Ge), Selenium (Se).

• As we know that the ability to transmit energy is known as conductivity.

• Conductivity is of different types such as thermal conductivity, acoustic conductivity, and electrical conductivity.

• Potassium is a good conductor of electricity and heat.

• Germanium has intermediate electrical conductivity.

• Selenium has poor conductivity of electricity and heat.
