What type of material allows electrons to move freely?

Electrons move freely in a solid, as in a metal


Why is NaCl solution a good conductor but NaCl solid not?

for the conductance of electricity freely moving ions and electrons are necessary. But in NaCl (in solid form) Na positive ion and Cl negative ion are held together by strong electrostatic force and there is no freely moving ion in NaCl (in solid state) therefore NaCl does not conduct electricity in solid form.


What would happen to entropy in a solid to gas reaction?

It increases; more freely moving particles.


How electric current flows through solid?

moving conduction band electrons


What part of the atom has to do with electricity?

Any charged particle.In almost any circuit you'll come across, electrons are moving around as metals allow them to do so freely. However, in a battery, a combination of different ions (atoms "missing" electrons) in a "fluid" (sometimes a solid one) are moving from one electrode to the other, acting as a source or a sink of electrons to the metallic conductors.In antimatter, the positron does the work of the electron.


How do the molecules act in a liquid?

it can move around more freely(relative to solid). takes shape of whatever it contains.


How are atoms held together in a in solid potassium metal?

imagine the metal as a "sea", where all of the electrons in the metal are freely flowing throughout the entire substance. the flow of these electrons if what holds them together.


What is the molecular movement of melting?

the molecular movement is fluid. As a solid, movement was at a minimum, so as it is melting the molecules are moving more freely


When the crystal structure of matter begins to collapse into a swarm of freely flowing molecules the matter is moving from the ( blank) state to the (blank) state?

solid to liquid


What is a state of matter when the particles are close together but can move?

If you are asking when particles are "able to move freely" that would be a liquid. If you simply ask about "moving" then that would be a solid, since in a solid the particles are still movings.


Why will dry sodium chloride not conduct the electric current?

A substance can only conduct electricity if it contains charged particles (electrons or ions) that are free to move around. In solid sodium chloride, there are ions but these ions are locked into the ionic lattice and are unable to move. Ergo, solid sodium chloride is unable to conduct electricity.


Solid copper wire is a good conductor because?

The outermost shell of electrons in a copper atom is not bound to the individual atom (nucleus), but can move freely within the copper. So when attracted by a positive voltage, electrons can move toward it.
