Free electrons are produced at the metallic electrode that has atoms, that give up electrons, and become ions in solution.

What is free flowing paints?

Free Flowing paints are produced by using the pencil to draw in a free hand motion, where you hold the pencil very loose on your hand to draw.


Does a conductor has many positive electrons?

No, a conductor does not have "positive electrons". Positive electrons are positrons, particles of anti-matter. A conductor, because if it's atomic structure, allows electrons to flow more freely from one atom to the other, thus creating electricity.


How do you make a bulb light with a with a fruit?

First, get a zinc electrode and a copper electrode. You can use a zinc coated nail and a penny. Put both of them into the fruit. You might need lots of fruit. Attach them together (in series), copper to zinc, and vice versa. The electrodes of the same fruit can't be wired together. Attach the free ends of the wires to the light, and it should light up!


Why electron is the lightest particle?

It's not. There are many particles lighter than electrons. As to why electrons have the mass they do... the first person to figure that out goes on the short list for a free trip to Sweden and a nice medal.


Describe how valence electrons in a metal move?

The characteristic that allows some metals to be better conductors of electricity is that they have 'free electrons'. Free Electrons simply means that there is a weaker bond between the electrons on the outer valence shell to the nucleus of the atom, than other atoms. This weak bond allows electrons in metals to become more easily excited (when mechanical means of generation occurs), where the electrons are able to transfer from one atom to another.I imagine this is what the question is asking. Basically, electricity is inherent in the material. Metals have weak bonds in their outer valence electron shell.A: In metals, the atoms move freely, allowing heat to travel faster. :)

Electrons are passed from?

Free electrons are produced in ß- decay, the first electrons were produced in the big bang


Does metallic bonding involve free-floating electrons?

Yes, metallic bonding involves free-floating electrons that are delocalized and are able to move freely throughout the metal structure. These mobile electrons are responsible for many properties of metals, such as electrical conductivity and malleability.


Condutivity in metallic solid are due the present of free?

It is due to the presence of free electrons.


Why are metallic compounds usually good conductors of electricity?

Metallic compounds have a delocalized structure where electrons are free to move throughout the material. These free-moving electrons can easily carry electric charge, making metallic compounds good conductors of electricity.


Electrons free to move throughout a material are associated with a what?

It is metallic bond, because you know yea metallic is metal and meteal collect electric, so it mean it free to move so the electricity pass through the meatal and when u tough it you may die exacly.


Why and how do metallic compounds conduct electricity?

Metallic compounds conduct electricity because they have delocalized electrons that are free to move throughout the structure. When a voltage is applied, these electrons can flow easily and carry the electric current. This is due to the metallic bonding in which metal atoms share their electrons in a "sea of electrons."


How do metallic substances facilitate current flow?

Metallic substances have free electrons, which can move from atom to atom, transferring a charge.


Do alkali metals have metallic luster?

All Alkali metals show metallic lustre ,which can be explained by the oscillation of free electrons.


What statement best describes metallic bonding?

electrons are free to move among many atoms


What does metallic form between?

Metallic bonds are formed within metal atoms. It can be as nuclei in a pool of electrons. These free electrons are responsible for the electricity and heat conducting.


What is the difference between electrons in a metallic or ionic bond?

In an ionic bond all of the electrons are localised to the ions, none are shared or free to move. In a metallic bond electrons are free and able to move about the lattice in the solid or the melt.
