What materials allow electricity to flow freely?
Because of freely moving of electrons in the material
Materials that allow the charges of an current to move freely through them are called?
conductors
What word is used for materials that light can pass through?
Transparent materials allow light to freely pass through them. Translucent materials also allow light to pass through them, but change the colour of the light.
Materials that do not allow electric changes?
Materials that do not allow electric currents to pass are called insulators.
Why does metal attract electricity?
because they are conductors and conductors allow the electrons to flow around freely in the object (conductor). and also, why not?
What materials allow electricity to flow freely?
Because of freely moving of electrons in the material
Materials that don't allow electrons to flow freely are called?
They are called "insulators" and include such materials as glass, rubber, plastic, nylon, dry wood, ceramic, air, etc.

conductors

How Does the metallic bond allow metals to conduct electricity?
Freely moving electrons.
A material that doesnt allow electrons to move through it easily is an?
insulator...as opposed to a conductor which does allow electrons to travel freely within it.
Materials that allow the charges of an electric current to move freely through them are called what?
A materiel that allows an electric charge to pass through it is an conducter (copper, for example)
What material made of particles that can easily change location?
Metals are materials in which particles (electrons) can freely move. If you mean bigger particles (such as atoms or molecules), then liquids and gasses allow easy movement
Which type of material that allows electricity to flow but not as freely?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons. Good conductors are metals, such as copper or aluminum. Materials that allow the flow of electrons, but not as freely as good conductors are known as semiconductors. These are primarily silicon or germanium, that is "doped" with specific types of impurities to allow their current to be better controlled by the application of a voltage. Heat will also increase the flow of electrons in a semiconductor.
Which type of materials allow the charges of an electric current to move freely through them?
Conductors, such as metals.
Do some non-magnetic materials allow magnetic lines of force to pass through them freely?
yes
Why are most metals called good conductors?
Because such metals allow electricity to flow more freely through them than it can flow through most other things (wood, for example, is a poor conductor).
