Answer

Titanium (Ti) Silver (Ag) Terbium (Tb) Molybdenum (Mo)

Work Step by Step

We know that metals are good conductors of electricity; therefore, for this problem, we look to the periodic table on the inside front cover of our book to find the answers. We want to locate all the metals. These elements are located to the left of the zigzag line, which separates the metals from the nonmetals. Titanium (Ti) is a metal, so it is a good electrical conductor. Neon (Ne) is a nonmetal, so it is not a good electrical conductor. Nitrogen (N) is a nonmetal, so it is not a good electrical conductor. Silver (Ag) is a metal, so it is a good electrical conductor. Terbium (Tb) is a metal, so it is a good electrical conductor. Bromine (Br) is a nonmetal, so it is not a good electrical conductor. Molybdenum (Mo) is a metal, so it is a good electrical conductor.
