GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Conductor: The conductor is the opposite of the Insulator. A Conductor is an object that allows the free flow of charge. Examples of conductors include silver, copper, gold, aluminum, iron.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is Mercury. Mercury is NOT an insulator. Insulators are material that does not conduct electricity. Examples-paper, plastic, rubber, glass, Ebonite, air, Styrofoam, etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -No, copper is not a good insulator. It is a good conductor. A conductor allows electricity or heat to pass through the material easily.

Detailed explanation-4: –In order to conduct electricity, a substance should contain ‘sea of electrons’ which are mobile.-Let’s take a look at the options and see which among them are conductors and insulators.-Copper is a metal and consists of free electrons. It is an excellent conductor of electricity.
