How is negative charge distributed in the atom according to Thomson's model?
Just as seeds in a watermelon electrons are embedded in a positive ball
What charges are free to move in conducting circuits?
Generally electrons, in metal. Specifically loosely-bound electrons from the outer orbital. Or holes, in p-type semiconductor. Or ions, in conducting liquid like battery acid. Or electrons, in a cathode-ray-tube.but i conclude it would be electrons. OR Q-which charges are more free to move in a conductor. A-electrons
What are the steps that describe the movement of electric charges in a closed circuit?
Charges leave the dry cell. Charges move through the switch. Charges move from the switch to the light. Charges move through the light bulb. Charges move through the wire leading back to the dry cell.
Which subatomic particle is free to move?
Electrons are free to move within an atom and between atoms, making them the subatomic particles that can easily move. Electrons are negatively charged and are responsible for the flow of electric current in conductive materials.
What has a negative charge and can move from atom to atom?
electrons
Where does charge reside in a conductor?
Any material has electrical charges. A conductor will usually not have more or less charges than a non-conductor. The relevant charges - often electrons - are simply relatively free to move around.
When this part of an atom moves to another atom the losing atom has what charge?
Positive. The only (typical) parts of atoms that move are electrons which have a negative charge; therefore, if a neutral atom loses an amount of electrons (negative charges), the atom has more positive charges (from the protons) than negative charges which makes the atom positively charged overall.

Why charge always reside on outer surface?
Because in a conductor charges are free to move and since like charges repel each other they move as far as they can from each other, which is the surface.
Which part of an atom is free to move?
Because atoms are in everything!
How do metallic substances facilitate current flow?
Metallic substances have free electrons, which can move from atom to atom, transferring a charge.

Electrons can move from atom to atom.?
elecron can move from atom to atom... yes
Inside solid electrical conductors electricity flows when?
Free electrons move toward positive charges
What does conduction require?
If you mean electrical conduction, that requires electrical charges that are fairly free to move around.
What are the steps that describe the movement of electric charges in a closed circuit?
Charges leave the dry cell. Charges move through the switch. Charges move from the switch to the light. Charges move through the light bulb. Charges move through the wire leading back to the dry cell.
Why are metals good heat conductors?
Some of the outer electrons of metal atoms are free to move from atom to atom. These free electrons transfer heat readily making metals good thermal conductors.
