What happens to an electron when sufficient energy is applied to break it out of the valence shell?
It moves toward a positive charge
It moves away from a negative charge
It is no longer bound to the atom
All of the above
Why is copper a better conductor than aluminum?
Copper has more valence electrons
Copper's single valence electron receives all of the energy
Aluminum's valence electrons are more stable
Copper is heavier than aluminum
