Question
The property/properties which enable copper metal to be used for making electric wires is/are :
Options
copper metal is malleable and ductile
copper metal is a good conductor of electricity
copper metal is ductile and has low electrical resistance
copper metal is sonorous and an excellent conductor of electricity

Solution
copper metal is ductile and has low electrical resistance
Copper is a good conductor of electricity. It means that it offers very low electric resistance. Also, it is highly ductile due to which it can be drawn into very thin wires.

You are given two liquids, one a solution and the other a compound. How will you distinguish the solution from the compound ?
There are three substances X, Y and Z. The substance X does not have a fixed melting point or boiling point and it still shows the individual properties of its constituents. The substance Y is a pure substance which occurs in nature as such. The substance Y has a fixed melting point and boiling point but it cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical means. The substance Z is also a pure substance whose properties are entirely different from those of its constituents. The substance Z can, however, be divided by electrolysis into two substances which belong to the same class of substances as Y.
