What property of the materials used in the computer chips makes them useful as switches that turn electricity on and off?

Computer chips, lasers and many other modern electronic devices are made by etching circuits into microscopically etc


How can ferrites be used in computers?

Ferrites are a type known as square-loop ferrites they can be magnetized in either of two directions by an electric current. This property makes them useful in the memory cores of digital computers.


What property of the materials used in computer chips makes them useful as switches that turn electricity on and off?

The silicon is a semiconductor and can be doped to control its conductivity and create the junctions needed to make diodes and transistors. These diodes and transistors can act as switches and logic gates in properly designed circuits. Silicon can also be easily oxidized to become a robust waterproof insulator to passivate and protect the circuits and components beneath it. The aluminium and/or copper are just good conductors used to "wire" the silicon components together and provide pads that can be used to attach wires or metal beads so that the chip can be connected to external circuits.

Is reactivity to water a physical property of copper?

Yes, reactivity to water is a chemical property of copper, not a physical property. Copper does not react with water at room temperature, but it can slowly react with water when exposed to high temperatures or steam to form copper oxide.
