39. We did learn from the textbook that as per the scientific rule decided by Widman Franz, the substances that are good conductors of electricity are also good conductors of heat. Electricity means a flow of electrons. For carrying electric charge, electrons need to be free and in a fluid state. Since there are free electrons in large proportion electricity easily flows through metals. For gtmd conduction of heat through the substance, molecules need to vibrate well and electrons should also be able to move sufficiently in its crystal structure (phonon).

Metal element bismuth has at the most single free electron in one lakh atoms of it and thus it is non-conductor of electricity. It is noted by scientist at TIFR that it shows superconductivity at minus 273′ centigrade temperature.

Select most important information that these two paragraphs give.

(1) Information in the IS’ paragraph is consistent with information in the 2nd paragraph.

(2) Information in the IS’ paragraph is not related to the information of the 2nd paragraph.

(3) Both the paragraphs inform that all metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.

(4) Though electricity flows easily through metals due to free electrons bismuth is anomaly to this rule.
