Three people bought copper items, and they each relied on different properties of copper. Bernie bought a set of dishes that included a copper salad bowl. Nicholas went to the hardware store and bought 12-gauge wire. Matt bought his mother a copper bracelet. Which property most likely attracted each buyer to his item?

Bernie relied on conductivity, Nicholas relied on ductility, and Matt relied on malleability.
Bernie relied on ductility, Nicholas relied on malleability, and Matt relied on appearance.
Bernie relied on malleability, Nicholas relied on ductility, and Matt relied on appearance.
Bernie relied on malleability, Nicholas relied on appearance, and Matt relied on conductivity.

C.) Bernie relied on malleability, Nicholas relied on ductility, and Matt relied on appearance.

I took the quiz on edge

i can ! i just need to know what the paragraph is! : p

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
