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.
How does a valence electrons in a metal moves?
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. :)
What are electrons that do not move freely called?
protons????
What allows valence elections in metals to move throughout the metal?
metal atoms being so close to one another that their outermost level overlap. Cause of the overlapping metallic bonds extend throughout the metal in all direction, so valence electrons can move throughout the metal.
Does electrons travel freely through silver?
yes
What type of material allows electrons to move freely?
Electrons move freely in a solid, as in a metal
What materials allow electricity to flow freely?
Because of freely moving of electrons in the material
A material that prevents electrons from flowing freely is called what?
an insulator
What do you call a material that electrons will flow through freely?
conductor
What kind of bone in the hand allows it to slide freely over one another?
The carpel bones in the hand allows it to slide freely over one another.
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 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.
Electrons move freely in metals which property describes metals?

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.

insulator...as opposed to a conductor which does allow electrons to travel freely within it.
What is a material through which electrons do not easily flow?
insulator
