Question

1. analyze copper is a good choice for use in electrical wiring. what type of elements would not work well for this purpose? why?

Explanation:

Non - metals would not work well for electrical wiring. Electrical wiring requires materials that can conduct electricity. Metals like copper have delocalized electrons which allow for the easy flow of electric current. Non - metals, on the other hand, generally do not have this property. For example, substances like sulfur or carbon (in non - graphite forms) are non - conductors or poor conductors of electricity. Graphite (a form of carbon) is an exception as it has some delocalized electrons, but most non - metals lack the necessary electron mobility for efficient electrical conduction.

Answer:

Non - metals would not work well for electrical wiring. They generally lack the delocalized electrons required for efficient electrical conduction (unlike metals like copper).
