A. The electrons in copper (Cu) are loosely bound to the nucleus.
Copper is a metal with a high number of free electrons that are able to move easily through the material, making it an excellent conductor of electricity. In contrast, carbon fiber is a non-metal material with fewer free electrons available for conducting electricity.
Why is copper wire a better conductor of electricity than carbon fiber?
A. The electrons in copper (Cu) are loosely bound to the nucleus.
B. Copper (Cu) is a metal, and only metals can conduct electricity.
C. Carbon (C) does not have any valence electrons.
D. Copper (Cu) has no loose electrons.
