The purpose of a wire is to carry some sort of electrical signal. This requires that the electrons in the material be able to move freely.
Materials with free movable electrons are called "metals".

Why are metals use to make wires for carrying electricity?
because metals have de-stabilized electrons.Thus can conduct electricity.
Why non metals cannot be drawn into wires?
They are not ductile. Metals are ductile which means that they can be drawn into wires, while non-metals are usually not.
Why metals can be drawn into wires?
Metals can be easily drawn into wire because they are malleable. These metals are also really wonderful conductors which is why they are picked for wires.
Why can transition metals be used to make electrical wires?
Their high conductivity is why transition metals are used to make electrical wires.
Why are metals wires used to carry current?
Because metals are conductors.
What are wires made from?
Wires are made form many differant types of copper and othe metals. Why is this it is because electricity is atracted to metals
Are metals flexable?
No but some can be stretched into wires.
The two properties of metals that pertain to their ability to be drawn into wires are pounded into shape are?
Ductality and malleablity are the two qualities of metals which would make metals' ability to be seperated into wires and sheets respectively.
What cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets?
Metalloids, Metals, Non-metals NotesThe answer is liquid because liquid cannot be rolled into wires orpounded into sheets.
Why can metals be pulled into thin strands or wires?
they are ductile
Which elements in the periodic table can be drawn into thin wires?
Malleable
Why dont metals break when pounded into sheets or drawn into wires?
Ductility and malleability are two properties of metals
