Hi peeps!:P I need help with science.
Which statement is true about the two metals used in batteries?
A. The two metals are not reactive to chemicals inside the battery.
B. The two metals are the same.
C. The two metals restrict the flow of electrons.
D. The two metals have opposite charges. *My answer*
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
i just took the test i was wrong dont listen to me
I think Do or C
I got the two metals are the same but idk if I'm right
Personally I don't like any of the answers. In fact, I don't like the question, either. Ordinary flashlight batteries are NOT made of two metals (unless you consider carbon a metal and I don't==and it isn't). An automobile battery is not made of two metals either. One is Pb and the other is PbO2. Of the choices listed I agree with your first choice.
Hello! Great to see you need help with science. Let's analyze the options to determine which statement is true about the two metals used in batteries.
To answer this question, we need to understand how batteries work. Batteries generate electricity through a chemical reaction. They consist of two electrodes (typically metals) immersed in an electrolyte solution.
Let's evaluate each option:
A. The statement "The two metals are not reactive to chemicals inside the battery" is not accurate. In a battery, the metals do react chemically with the electrolyte solution, which allows the flow of electrons.
B. The statement "The two metals are the same" is not true. Batteries usually consist of different metals, each serving different functions.
C. Now, let's consider the statement "The two metals restrict the flow of electrons." This statement is not correct either. In fact, metals used in batteries allow the flow of electrons, which is essential for the battery to produce electricity.
D. The statement "The two metals have opposite charges" is the correct answer. In a battery, the two metals, called the cathode and the anode, have opposite charges. This charge difference creates an electric potential difference, initiating the flow of electrons from one electrode (anode) to the other electrode (cathode) through the electrolyte solution.
So, your answer, D. The two metals have opposite charges, is correct! Well done!
Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
