We observed the temperature dependence of the electrical resistance of Cu, Ni and Ge in the range between $200K$ and $400K$. It resulted to be linear in the whole range for Cu and Ni. The one of the Ge exhibited this linear behaviour only up to $300K$ showing an exponential decay above. We also estimated the energy gap $E_g$ of Ge which resulted to be equal to $E_g=$

it is to wide for comment: i cant reproduce your problem. with your code, which i slightly change preamble (changes had not influence to xour problem) i obtain the following result:
i test with recent version of MikTeX. so, see, if your LaTeX installation is up-to-date.
off-topics: i suggest to use ˙mchempackage for writing chemical elements and formulas, and
siunitx` for all values with units. see how is used in MWE below:

titleElectrical resistance of Cu, Ni and Ge in the range $120K$ - $400K$
author...

beginabstract
We observed the temperature dependence of the electrical resistance of Cu, Ni and Ge in the range between $200K$ and $400K$. It resulted to be linear in the whole range for Cu and Ni. The one of the Ge exhibited this linear behaviour only up to $300K$ showing an exponential decay above. We also estimated the energy gap $E_g$ of Ge which resulted to be equal to $E_g=$

The aim of this study is to observe the dependence of the electrical resistance of two metals, Copper and Nickel, and of a doped semiconductor, the Germanium, as a function of the temperature. Furthermore our measurements allowed us to estimate the energy gap of the Germanium.

The big white space results because LaTeX tries to fill the complete left column, because your class uses flushbottom
, that means the last line of the column has to be at the bottom of the column. You can use raggedbottom
instead to force not balanced colums.

it is to wide for comment: i cant reproduce your problem. with your code, which i slightly change preamble (changes had not influence to xour problem) i obtain the following result:
i test with recent version of MikTeX. so, see, if your LaTeX installation is up-to-date.
off-topics: i suggest to use ˙mchempackage for writing chemical elements and formulas, and
siunitx` for all values with units. see how is used in MWE below:
