Justice Orozco · Answer 1

C. The particles in both of the copper wires will be exactly the same.

Explanation:

The particles of all elements are equal in size to one another, this is because they have the same number of electrons, neutrons and protons in their atoms, so there is no way that there are two things made out of the same elements with particles with different sizes. That's why the correct option is C. The particles in both of the copper wires will be exactly the same.

Patricia Hughes · Answer 2

C. The particles in both copper wires will be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

All particles of copper are identical, no matter where they are.

They have the same size and the same densities, so A, B, and D are wrong.
