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 (like sulfur, phosphorus, etc.) and noble gases would not work well. Non - metals generally have poor electrical conductivity as their electrons are not free to move easily for charge transfer. Noble gases have completely filled electron shells and are chemically inert with no tendency to conduct electricity as they don't have free electrons for electrical current flow.

Answer:

Non - metals and noble gases. Non - metals have poor electrical conductivity (electrons not free to move for charge transfer). Noble gases have completely filled electron shells (no free electrons for current flow).
