To best complete the chart that Anton created, let's analyze each blank and match it with the most appropriate material type given the options:
1. For the blank labeled 'X' (which corresponds to 'insulator'), we need to find a material that is an insulator.
2. For the blank labeled 'Y' (which corresponds to 'semiconductor'), we need to find a material that is a semiconductor.
Given the options:
- X: copper (Copper is a conductor, not an insulator.)
- Y: glass (Glass is generally an insulator, not a semiconductor.)
- X: rubber (Rubber is indeed an insulator.)
- Y: copper (Copper is a conductor.)
- X: paper (Paper is an insulator, but we need to consider the best match.)
- Y: silicon (Silicon is a semiconductor.)
- X: silicon (Silicon is a semiconductor, not an insulator.)
- Y: glass (Glass is not a semiconductor.)
Clearly, the best matches to complete the chart are:
- X: rubber (Insulator)
- Y: silicon (Semiconductor)
So the chart is best completed as:
| Type | Example |
|---------------|---------|
| conductor | silver |
| insulator | rubber |
| semiconductor | silicon |
| superconductor| mercury |
Hence, the correct completion for the chart is:
X: rubber
Y: silicon
