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.
What are electrons that do not move freely called?
protons????
Which direction do electrons move in when metals react with non metals?
During this type of reaction, the electrons would move from the metal to the non-metal. The transfer of electrons allows both material to maintain a full outer valence.
How do the electron's in a metallic bond affect the metal?
Because of the common sea of electrons, these electrons can move readily, creating electricity.
The way freely moving particles move?
Free electrons with a charge of -1
What type of material allows electrons to move freely?
Electrons move freely in a solid, as in a metal
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.
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.
What name do you give to materials that let eletricity pass through them easily And why?
The material is conductive. Metals (copper or aluminum, etc) allows charged particles of electrons to move freely in either direction along their length.
What are electrons that do not move freely called?
protons????
What describes characteristics of a metallic bond?
Electrons move freely among many metal nuclei
What is a material through which electrons do not easily flow?
insulator
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)
Do electrons free drift in metals?
Yes, electrons move freely in metals.
Electrons move freely in metals which property describes metals?
The characteristic that allows some metals to be better conductors of electricity is that they have 'free electrons'. Free Electrons simply means that there is a weaker bond between the electrons on the outer valence shell to the nucleus of the atom, than other atoms. This weak bond allows electrons in metals to become more easily excited (when mechanical means of generation occurs), where the electrons are able to transfer from one atom to another. I imagine this is what the question is asking. Basically, electricity is inherent in the material. Metals have weak bonds in their outer valence electron shell. A: In metals, the atoms move freely, allowing heat to travel faster. :)
Why do wires use metals?
The purpose of a wire is to carry some sort of electrical signal. This requires that the electrons in the material be able to move freely. Materials with free movable electrons are called "metals".
