To Choose: The correct option.
Answer to Problem 5STP
Option B -Poor electrical and heat conductivity
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Non-metals are the poor conductor of electricity and heat because they do not have the free electrons to
Oxygen is a non-metal and nonmetals are the poor conductors of heat and electricity because they do not have free electrons to conduct the heat and electricity.
Conclusion:
Hence, the property of elements that make up more than 95% of the human body by mass is the property of poor electrical and heat conductivity.
