What is an example of a material whose atoms strongly hold on to electrons?
sodium
Are metals thermal insulators?
omdat je nou eenmaal moet poepen!!
What are substances with tightly bound electrons called?
Electrical conductor
What is the ability of a material to oppose the movement of electrons through it?
A material that has a high resistance to the flow of electrons is an insulator.
How how many electrons can each of the four shells nearest the nucleus hold?
the first one can hold up to 2 electrons second can hold up to 8 electrons third can also hold up to 8 electrons and the last one can hold up to 18 electrons
How are electrons held to the atoms that make up the insulators?
insulators do not have free electrons
What is an example of a material whose atoms strongly hold on to electrons?
sodium
Are there loosely bound electrons in insulators?
In electrical insulators electrons are not able to move freely.
Why cant electricity pass through insulators?
Because insulators do not have free electrons as conductors in insulators electrons are very tight so its electrons do not allow electricity to pass through them!
What do electrons not move quickly through?
Insulators.

How are conductors and insulators different give an example of a conductor and an insulator?
conductors, such as metals, have free electrons, meaning their electrons are not strongly bonded to the atoms and a charge can move easily throughout the whole object, an insulator such as wood does not have free electrons so a charge is likely to stick in one area of the insulator.
What items are insulators and conductor?
Conductors are materials that allow electrons to flow easily through it. Metals are the best examples of conductors. Insulators to the opposite; they don't like letting their electrons flow. Glass, rubber, and wood are some examples of insulators.
Is germanium a conductor of heat?
Germanium is a semiconductor, it means that electrons are relatively strongly attached to nuclei. As result its thermal properties change. Generally semiconductors have worse thermoconductivity than metals but better than insulators.
Does an insulator allow the flow of electrons?
Yes . Some insulators do allow the flow of electrons but most do not.
Materials through which electrons cannot move easily?
insulators
Which element will hold its electrons most tightly F Au Rb or N?
F (fluorine) is the most strongly electronegative element.
