Respuesta :

Here we have to point out the necessary character of the substance needed which are used as lightning conductor.  

The substance should have the following properties:

High electricity carrying capacity and less resistant.

High melting point

The substance should have high electricity carrying capacity or the resistance is less so that the electricity generated during the lightning easily conducted to the ground  

The substance should have high melting point so that during lightning the generated high temperature cannot disrupt the material.

Answer:The lightning rod should be constructed of a metal, which is an inorganic substance.

Metals are good conductors of electricity.
