Among iron and mercury, iron is a better conductor of electricity because the resistivity of iron (10.0 x 10-8 Ω m) is less than that of mercury (94.0 x 10-8 Ωm).
Advantages:
(i) Provides the resources for the present generation.
(ii) Preserves the resources for the future generation as well
Reuse is better than recycling because it does not involve use of energy.
