Want this question answered?
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. :)
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.

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.
A conductor is a material that can transfer energy efficiently and and insulator is the opposite.Conductor means something that blocks it and insulator means something that can go through itA conductor easily transfers energy in the form of electricity and/or heat, while an insulator does not easily transfer these types of energy.In electricity, a conductor is a material that can let current pass through and an insulator does not let current pass through,or rather copper is a conductor and plastic is an insulator.A insulator is something that will not allowheat/electricity to pass through it and a conductor is something that allows heat/electricity to pass through it.
A material that electricity can conduct electricity.

"Conductivity."
A "resistance" or "resistor".
Any material that allows heat or electricity to transfer easily.
It would be an electric conductor.
This is called a conductor.
Metallic conductors such as copper, aluminum, silver and gold are some examples of materials through which heat and electricity can easily flow.
A conductor allows electricity to flow. An insulator does not.
That is called a conductor.
