Why do metals conduct electricity well?
Because the valence (outermost) electron shell of a metal atom is less than half full, the electrons are loosely held in that orbit and are able to break away from that atom to become 'free electrons'. These free electrons are then able to perform as charge carriers, the drift of which, we call an electric current.
What term do you call a porous medium which allows only the liquid to pass through it?
A medium that allows only liquids to pass through it is called an "impermeable medium." This means that it restricts the flow of gases or solids while enabling the movement of liquids.
What do you call a single element semiconductor material such as silicon and germanium?
Intrinsic semiconductivity
What are solids liquids and gases called?
They are called the states of matter.
What do we call the movement of electric charge?
electricity
What do you call the liquid which conduct electricity?
Electrolytes
What do you call a substance that doesn't conduct electricity?
Insulator
List the object that did not conduct electricity what would you call these?
Insulator
What do you call compounds that conduct electricity when dissolved or melted?
Electrolytes
What do you call a material that does not let electricity pass through it?
A material that does not conduct (or allow the 'passage' of) electricity is called an "insulator".
What do you call solids that conduct electricity?
A substance that conducts electricity is a conductor. There is no special name for one that is solid; if you need to specify that it is solid, just call it a "solid conductor".
What conducts electricity some of the time?
Semiconductor. That's why they call it semi vs always conductor. It will only conduct electricity when there is voltage on its gate to open the channel.
What do we call the liquid which do not conduct electricity called?
The liquid that does not conduct electricity is called an insulator. Insulators do not allow the flow of electric current through them due to their high resistance. Examples include water in its pure form, oil, and rubber.
What do you call a material that current cannot flow easily through?
An insulator. Insulators are materials that do not conduct electricity well and have high electrical resistance, preventing the flow of current through them. Examples include rubber, glass, and plastic.
What do you call liquids that dissolve liquids?
insoulble
What shall do if someones having electric shock?
you knock the person away with something that doesnt conduct electricity like a broomstick for example and then call the emergency services.
What do you call compounds that conduct electric currents when dissolved or melted?
When dissolved or melted you would call them ionic. However you cannot then be absolutely certain that the solid is a straight forward ionic solid!
