Metals conduct electricity as a result of the way they bond to form alloys. Their configuration is like positive ions in an "electron sea", which means that the electricity can travel easily through the electrons.

∙ 8y agoMaterials that conduct allow electricity to pass through them (most metals) and things that don't conduct are the opposite. (e.g cotton) The most simple way is to identify if it is conductor is that most metals can normally conduct, and some obvious things like plastic, and cotton, can not. Basically explained.

What are crystalline structures that conduct electricity without resistance when cooled to a certain temperature?
Superconducting materials.
Why does a pineapple conduct electricity?
Biological materials, such as this one, will usually conduct electricity due to ions in the liquid. Since an ion has an electrical charge, and is relatively free to move around, it can conduct an electrical current.

Materials which lets electricity go through them are called?
Conductor are materials that conduct electricity. There are also semiconductors, which conduct electricity but not as well, and superconductors, which conduct electricity without resistance when very cold.
Why do materials that conduct heat also conduct electricity?
copper, metals...
Do materials that conduct heat also tend to conduct electricity?
Usually, yes.

Stove
Does not conduct electricity well?
Materials that do not conduct electricity well are Insulating materials, or insulators. Examples include glass, rubber, plastic, air, ceramic, porcelain, dry paper and dry wood. Pure water will not conduct electricity at all.
