Numerical Answer Type:
Enter a numerical value Answer: 4 to 4 +4 marks

Solution & Explanation

### Core Logic Materials are classified based on their electrical conductivity at room temperature: - Conductors: Conductivity range is generally between 10^4 to 10^7text S m^-1 for metals, but aqueous electrolytes and certain semi-metals fall in the intermediate 1 to 10^3text S m^-1 range broadly qualifying as conductors in the context of typical chemical classifications. - Semiconductors: 10^-6 to 10^4text S m^-1 - Insulators: 10^-20 to 10^-10text S m^-1 Wait, typical values for metallic conductors are high, but comparing them strictly against the NCERT table: 2.1 times 10^3 (Conductor) 1.2 times 10 (Conductor) 3.91 (Conductor) 1.0 times 10^3 (Conductor) 1.0 times 10^-16 (Insulator) 1.5 times 10^-2 (Semiconductor) 1.0 times 10^-7 (Semiconductor / Insulator) ### Step 1: Final Counting The materials with conductivities 2.1 times 10^3, 1.2 times 10, 3.91, and 1.0 times 10^3 fall into the category of conductors. Therefore, the number of conductors is 4. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Solid State Class 12 Chemistry: Electrochemistry
