Electric conduction is due to coherent movement of electrons (electrical charges) trough the material. More free to move the electrons are, bigger is the conductivity. The "molecolar structure", or better the strenght of the nucleus-electrons bond determine the freedom of the electrons, and so the material's conductivity. In particular, in metals there are a lot of quasi-totally free electrons, that explains why metals are good conductors.
What else can I help you with?
List the object that did not conduct electricity what would you call these?
Insulator
Why salt and vetsin can conduct electricity in a solution?
Salt (sodium chloride) dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride) in water, allowing it to conduct electricity. Vetsin (monosodium glutamate) likely contains ions that can also dissociate in water, enabling it to conduct electricity in a solution.
What is an object called that doesnot conduct electricity?
An object that does not conduct electricity is referred to as an insulator. Insulators are materials that have high electrical resistance and do not allow electric current to flow through them easily. Examples of insulators include rubber, glass, and plastic.
Are steel springs conductors or insulator?
Any metallic object has the ability to conduct electricity.
What kind of materials makes up the object labeled conductor on the transparency?
The object labeled conductor on the transparency is likely made of metal materials, such as copper or aluminum. These metals conduct electricity well due to their structure that allows electrons to move freely and carry electric current.
What test can you perform on an object to find out if it is a metal?
See if it will conduct electricity, and see if it can be flattened and stay flattened. Metals conduct electricity and heat, and are malleable. They also have a luster (shiny when polished) and are ductile- they can be drawn out like wire.
The name of an object which conducts heat or electricity?
Metals which have free valence electrons conduct electricity and heat. thus they are good conductors.
Can an ice cube conduct an electric current?
No, ice cubes are poor conductors of electricity because they are made mostly of water, which is a non-conductive material. For an object to conduct electricity, it needs to have free-moving electrons, which ice does not possess.
What does silver ruby brass have in common then iron?
They are all metals and can conduct electricity and heat. Iron is magnetic, while silver, ruby, and brass are not.
Is burn a chemical property?
yes because you are changing the molecular structure of the object. if it cannot return to its original state it is a chemical property.
Does an insulator conduct electricity?
We use the term insulator, specifically electrical insulator, to refer to an object or material that does not conduct electricity to any significant degree.The term insulator, with no other explanation, is assumed to refer to electrical insulators. There are of course other materials which are used as insulation for heat. They provide thermal insulation and may or may not conduct electricity.
What is the name of elements that conduct electricity?
Electricity is electrons flowing through an object---any object. The structure of metals makes it easier for electrons to flow. Also, electricity flows at very fast speed. However the electrons do not flow the same speed. Otherwise, when you turn on your light switch, an electron at the Power Station 10 miles away would zip into your house and to your light. Think of it as a long 100 foot tube(the wire) filled with ping pong balls. You start by pushing a ball into one end of the tube and a ball falls out the other end. The balls didn't travel at 100 feet; but the energy did.
