What is the peculiarity of the compound Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO)?

What is the peculiarity of the compound Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO)? Correct Answer It is a high temperature superconductor

The Correct Answer is Option 4.

  • YBCO is a superconductor at relatively high temperatures, is the peculiarity of this compound.
  • YBCO is a superconducting ceramic; i.e it loses all resistance to electric current at extremely low temperatures.
  • YBCO structure consists of three cubes, with yttrium or barium at the center, copper at the corners, and oxygen at the middle of each edge.
  • Gold is the most ductile and malleable of all known metals.
