Jake is in chemistry class. He makes a list of the chemicals his instructor described and the properties of each.

Silver: bonds with other atoms because of the weak forces of the valence electrons

Water: bonds allow for liquid state at room temperature and prevent conduction

Carbon: bonds with other atoms through strong shared electrical bonds

Niobium: bonds allow for a strong conductivity found in stainless steel

Which is most likely true about the chemicals?

A. Silver and niobium are metals.

B. Water and carbon are metals.

C. Silver and carbon are metals.

D. Water and niobium are metals.

Choose A B C or D. Don't explain the other thing and I need this now

Silver: bonds with other atoms because of the weak forces of the valence electrons

FALSE - The strong forces of the valence electrons is actually the reason why silver bonds with other atoms.

Water: bonds allow for liquid state at room temperature and prevent conduction

FALSE - Water is a good conductor.

Carbon: bonds with other atoms through strong shared electrical bonds

TRUE - Carbon shares covalent bonds with other atoms.

Niobium: bonds allow for a strong conductivity found in stainless steel

FALSE - Iron and Carbon make up steel.
