Why can metals such as copper and silver become charged by induction while plastic materials cannot?
Metals have one or two( or at the most three as in case of aluminium ) free electrons in outer orbit witch they want to give away to have saturated inner orbit so they become charged by induction. Plastic being carbon polymer have four electrons in outer orbit and does not want to give electrons or it will remain with only two electrons left as compared to six protons making it highly electrically positive. Plastic material cannot become charged.
