Why it is easy to charge polythene by rubbing but not copper?
When you rub plastic, you transfer electrons from one material to the other. ... Because plastic is an insulator, the electrons cannot flow through it so they effectively get stuck there they are static
Copper is a good conductor of electricity because its electrons are?
Are free to move and flow
What best explains why copper is a good conductor of electricity?
The electrons are able to flow easily.
What allows electrons to flow between electrodes in an electrochemical cell?
The difference in reactivity between two metals is what causes the electron flow, or voltage. It is facilitated by setting up a Galvanic cell, with two electrodes in solution connected by a copper wire (for electron flow) and a salt bridge (for balancing charges between electrodes.)
Positive ions and electrons can flow in a a solution but only electrons can flow in wires. What causes the electrons to move?
All the above Energy. Energy causes ever thing to move.
Copper is a good conductor of electricity because its electrons are what?
The copper (the positive protons) hold the inner negative electrons securely, but the outer most negative electrons of the copper atom are easily disloged and become free electrons, apply a potential difference (volts) between terminals of say a car battery, and the terminals are joined by copper wire then electrons will flow from one terminal to the other - the electron flow is from negative to positive terminal.Hope this helps I have just answered the question simply!
Is the plastic or rubber around copper an insulator because it allows the flow of electrons?
No, it is an insulator because it DOES NOT allow the flow of electrons.

Why is zinc negative amd copper positive?
Zinc is more electronegative than copper. As a result, zinc acts as the anion(anode), while copper loses electrons and becomes positive (cathode). Electrons flow from the zinc to the copper ( - to +)
How can copper can relate with electric because copper is 2 plus and electric is negative and positive?
Electric current is always the flow of electrons ... negative charges. The only requirement for a substance to be a good conductor of electric current is that it must have electrons on its outer layer that are relatively easy to tear away from the atom.
What best explains why copper is a good conductor of electricity?
The electrons are able to flow easily.
Is copper the best conductor?
because copper atom has one electron in outer shell and easy to to energize to flow to other copper atom we now that the rate of flow of electron is current
Many metals such as copper and silver permit the flow of electrons as voltage is applied because of this property copper and silver are classified as?
conductors
Do plastic or rubber around copper wires is an insulator because it allows the flow of electrons?
yes
Is plastic or rubber around copper wires an insulator because it allows the flow of electron?
No, it is an insulator because it DOES NOT allow the flow of electrons.
Why do electrons only travel in one direction in voltaic cells?
The electrode potential or the reduction potential of zinc is less than that of copper. Therefore, zinc loses the electrons and copper ions gain them forming solid copper and producing electricity. Copper is not able to loose electrons due to presence of zinc and hence electrons flow in one direction only.
