The material can lose its electrons rather easily and pass them to the next atom.

What is a insulator and conductor?
A insulator is a object a that stops the traveling of heat, electricity, and other stuff. A conductor is a thing that lets heat or electricity go through it.
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?
Are steel springs conductors or insulator?
Any metallic object has the ability to conduct electricity.
Why are glass and wood good insulators of electricity?
For Current(Electricity) to travel through an object valence electrons are required. Most metals have valence electrons hence are good conductors of electricity. In case of glass and wood free electrons are not present hence electricity does not flow through them.
What allows electricity to pass through it?
An object which is a conductor allows electricity to pass through it
What is an contuctor?
material or an object that conducts heat, electricity, light, or sound. Electrical conductors contain electric charges (usually electrons) that are relatively free to move through the material; a voltage applied across the conductor therefore creates an electric current. Insulators (electrical nonconductors) contain no charges that move when subject to a voltage. Compareinsulator. See alsoresistance, superconductivity.
How electricity happen?
(Surface) Electrons are moved from one object to another, usually by rubbing. Note that the objects are non-conductors.
Is electricity a metal?
Electricity is not a metal; it is the flow of electrons. In static electricity, the particles in an object try to neutralize each other, which causes a shock when touched. Metals like copper are great conductors of electricity, and can be drawn in electrical wires.
What are materials that allow charges to flow through then easily called?
electric conductor They are called conductors of electricity. Electricity is the flow of charge. Solid conductors contain free electrons that carry the charge. Liquid conductors contain ions that carry the charge.
What is an object that does not allow electricity to flow through?
An object that does not allow electricity to flow through easily is an insulator. It is so hard that it often won't go through at all. Sometimes you find an exception, like lightening. There is nothing that electricity cannot flow through altogether.
Why don't train wires sag when electricity flows through them?
because electricity has no mass and therefore no weight. electricity is not a physical object
What is the result as static electricity charges move off an object?
As static electricity charges move off an object through a discharge, the object then becomes the same potential as the surrounding objects in the area.
