What property of the electrons in a conductor allows them to move?

∙ 9y ago
As free electrons move on the surface of a metallic substance, they can form electric currents. Metals function as good electrical conductors. An important property of a metal is its ability to conduct both heat and electricity. Metals easily lose electrons from the outer shell of their atoms, and those electrons are free to move around. Conductivity measurements provide an estimate of electron mobility.

∙ 13y agoElectricity can easily pass through conductors because conductors have freely moving electrons. That means the atoms of a conductor allow its electrons to move about.

Which would cause most of the free electrons to move in a conductor to move in the same direction?
In the theory of electricity, you must have a current for electrons to all move in one direction.
What type of material allows electrons to move freely?
Electrons move freely in a solid, as in a metal
Copper is a good conductor of electricity because its electrons are?
Are free to move and flow
Is metal a good conductor of heat?

Is ebonite a conductor?
Ebonite is a poor conductor of electricity, it is an insulator. Electrons cannot move easily within it, but can it form and hold a static charge.
Allows electrons to move through it easily?
A conductor
What is the term for a solid object that allows free electrons to move easily through it?
Conductor
What is the term for solid object that allows free electrons to move easily through it?
Conductor
What allows a conductor to conduct electricity?
Conductors are substances where electrons can freely move from atom to atom.
Electricity produces work when the electrons in a conductor?
Electricity produces work when the electrons in a conductor
Why does metal conduct electricity?
metal conducts electricity because it allows electrons to move freely as well as it has free electrons, unlike insulators(non-metals) which do not have free electrons. When the electrons are allowed to move freely in a substance, it is a good conductor and allows electric charge to flow.
What materials do electrons easily move through?
A conductor. The property that determines whether a material is a conductor or an insulator is how tightly bound the outer shell electrons are. Atoms with loosely bound electrons are good conductors. Three examples of good conductors are gold, silver and copper.
Is a conductor a kind of matter electrons can move through?
Yes it is.
Which would cause most of the free electrons to move in a conductor to move in the same direction?
In the theory of electricity, you must have a current for electrons to all move in one direction.
What objects act like a conductor and insulator?
The substances which have free electrons(which move freely ) act as conductor while those whose electrons held tightly (which can not move freely) are insulator.
Why is a good conductor of electricity also a good conductor of heat?
We know that a conductor allows electricity to move through it. Conductors have a source called mobile electrons that go side to side inside the conductor itself when an external source connects to it their source goes through the conductor allowing electricity to flow.
What type of material allows electrons to move freely?
Electrons move freely in a solid, as in a metal
