What materials allow electricity to flow freely?
Because of freely moving of electrons in the material
Is a material a good insulator if outer electrons of atoms in the material are free to roam around?
Freely moving electrons make materials more conductive, and less insulating.
What type of materials can conduct electricity?
Non-metals are mostly poor conductors, or so called insulators. Metals conduct electricity. These have free electrons which may move freely around the surface of the element.
Which part of metallic bonding theory helps the most to explain why metals are able to conduct electricity?
Electrons can move freely among all the atoms of the metal.
Why does a piece of wire become hot when it is bent repeatedly at the same point?
friction of the electrons are not moving freely in the wire, they bump on each other
How Does the metallic bond allow metals to conduct electricity?
Freely moving electrons.
Why metals are goodconducter of electricity?
Metals have freely moving electrons as well as particles to conduct heat. The electrons move freely to pass thermal energy.
Do freely moving valence electrons account for electrical conductivity in metals?
yes they conduct electricity
Why doesn't some substances conduct electricity?
To conduct electricity you need the ability for tiny particles called electrons to move freely from one atom or molecule to another. If there are no electrons moving freely, there is no electrical charge. :) hope this helps
What materials allow electricity to flow freely?
Because of freely moving of electrons in the material
What type of compounds have freely moving electrons?
who gives a rats
How metals conduct electricity?
Metals conduct electricity easily because the electrons in a metal crystal can move freely among the atoms.They are know as free electrons.
What allows a conductor to conduct electricity?
Conductors are substances where electrons can freely move from atom to atom.
Why does metal conduct electricity?
metal conducts electricity because it allows electrons to move freely as well as it has free electrons, unlike insulators(non-metals) which do not have free electrons. When the electrons are allowed to move freely in a substance, it is a good conductor and allows electric charge to flow.
The valence electrons found in metals are different from nonmetals because .?
metals can conduct electricity, the valence electrons of nonmetals cannot roam freely
The five thousand million billion freely moving electrons in a penny repel one another why don't they fly out of the penny?
they arent moving freely. they are loosely bound to the nucleus.
The way freely moving particles move?
Free electrons with a charge of -1
