Conductors allow electricity to easily move through them.
Glass is an example of a conductor.
Metal is an example of a conductor.
Conductors do not allow electricity to easily move through them.
Conductors restrict the flow of thermal energy.

Answer 1

It would be the first one and the third one

Answer 2

Conductors allow electricity to easily move through them.

Metal is an example of a conductor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conductors are materials that have free electrons, so they allow electrical currents (which are made of electrons traveling) passing through them.

Let's analyze each statement separately:

- Conductors allow electricity to easily move through them. --> TRUE: conductors allow electrical currents to pass through them.

- Glass is an example of a conductor. --> FALSE: glass is an example of insulator (insulators are materials that do not allow the flow of current)

- Metal is an example of a conductor. --> TRUE: metals are generally good conductors of electricity, since they have many free electrons.

- Conductors do not allow electricity to easily move through them. --> FALSE: it's actually the opposite, conductors allow electricity to easily move through them.

- Conductors restrict the flow of thermal energy. --> FALSE: conductors are generally also good conductors of thermal energy, so they do not restrict the flow of thermal energy.
