The statement that best describes the relationship between atoms and conductivity is:
Atoms with a nearly empty valence shell make good conductors.
This is because materials that have few valence electrons (like metals) can easily lose electrons, allowing them to conduct electricity effectively. The other statements do not accurately represent the principles of conductivity.
