The electrons in their valence band are so loosely bound that in the bulk material they form an "electron gas" that fills the material and can freely flow in response to voltage placed across that material.

∙ 11y agoMost simply put, it is due to the ability of electrons to move freely and easily from atom to atom. Whereas in, lets say wood for example, electron tend to be tightly stuck with the same atom.

What is a a electrically nonconductive material?
any material that will not allow electricity to pass through it. rubber, plastic, some electrically conductive materials are metals, esp. gold, water, neon gases insulators, glass, paper :)
Is aluminum electrically conductive?
Yes...all metals are will conduct electricity.
Can you use brass as a dialectric union between copper and black iron pipe?
No, brass cannot be used as a dielectric union between copper and black iron pipe. Dielectric unions are typically made of materials that are not electrically conductive, such as plastic or rubber. Brass is a conductive material and would not provide insulation against galvanic corrosion between copper and black iron pipe.
What is the effect of moisture in the substation grounding?
Soil moisture typically enhances the effect of substation grounding by making the soil more electrically conductive. Soil moisture dissolves minerals, creating an electrolyte, or conductive medium. Substation grounding systems often employ the use of a grounding well, which is a casing that is driven into the aquifer, for this reason.
Why are metals thermally conductive?
Because metals are the good conductors of current. the conduction band and the valance band are overlap on each other,so when the current passes from the metal because of overlapping on both the bands current passes easily.
Are there any metals which do not act as a conductor?
All metals are electrically conductive.
Is magnesium an electrical conductivity?
All metals are electrically conductive.
Is Zinc electrically conductive?
Yes, like all metals.
Is mercury more electrically conductive than copper?
No. Copper is the second most elkectircally conductive of all metals. Silver is the most conductive.
What footwear is electrically conductive and non conductive?
what footwear is electrically conductibe or non conductive
Is brass good at conducting electricity?
All metals are electrically conductive.
Is titanium an electrically non conductive material?
No. Titanium, in common with all true metals, is a good conductor or electricity.
Is iodine electrically conductive?
no
What is conductive metals?
All metals are conductive. That is part of the definition of metals
Are metalloids electrically conductive?
yes

Is aluminum electrical?
Electrically conductive - yes
