A conductor

An electrical conductor.
Such solids are copper, Silver, Gold, and Graphite (Carbon allotrope).
NB Ionic solids do NOT conduct electricity. However when liquid or in solution the ions are free to move , hence electricity is conducted.
e.g. Sodium chloride as a solid does not conduct. However in solution it does conduct/
NaCl(s) = Na^(+)(aq) + Cl^(-)(aq)
The aqueous species does conduct electricity, because the charged ions (Na^(+) & Cl^(-)) are electricially charged species, and can move in a solution.

What does melleability mean in science?
Malleability means that the shape of the solid is able to be changed easily. For example, a piece of clay would be malleable, but a rock would not.
What would you have to do to make sodium chloride conduct electricity?
The common way would be to dissolve it in water. As a solid, the ions of sodium and chlorine are not free to move. In solution they are, and are able to support an electron flow.
Why is a substance able to be dissolved in another to form a solution?
Because the molecules of the solid are not strongly bonded to each other and will readily bond to the liquid.
How do the bonds between particles in a solid compare with those in a liquid?
solid is more compact and liquid is more lose so that the atoms are able to slide over one another.
Why does a semiconductor have fewer free electron than a conductor?
Valence electrons only are able to cross the energy gap in semiconductors since it is greater than that of conductors. That is why semiconductors have fewer free electrons than conductors.

Why is the alkali metal more reactive that an alkaline earth metal?
the alkali metals have one valence electron, or one electron available to bond with another particle. this lets them bond easily with, lets say, a halogen, which has one 'slot' for an electron. two atoms of an alkali metal would be able to bond with a chalcogen, and so on. it's really all in the number of electrons. the alkaline earth metals have two valence electrons, so they would bond less easily with other elements.
What advantage do solid bones have?
there aren't none the hollow bones don't break as easily and they are able to produce bone marrow inside.
How can all halogens easily become gases?
Halogens easily convert to gases because they are so electronegative. They are easily able to pull electrons from other molecules to pair with the lone p-orbital electron. ---also, this electronegativity causes them to be strong acids when protonated (eg-HCl)

What are two metals that are drawn into wires?
yes this is because one specific property of most metals is ductility which is the property of being able to be drawn into wires. This property can be attributed to metals mobile electron structure.
What is another word for 'able to be read easily' ending in 'ible'?
The word you want may be 'legible' - something that can be deciphered with ease
