Electricity is electrons flowing through an object---any object. The structure of metals makes it easier for electrons to flow. Also, electricity flows at very fast speed. However the electrons do not flow the same speed. Otherwise, when you turn on your light switch, an electron at the Power Station 10 miles away would zip into your house and to your light. Think of it as a long 100 foot tube(the wire) filled with ping pong balls. You start by pushing a ball into one end of the tube and a ball falls out the other end. The balls didn't travel at 100 feet; but the energy did.
What else can I help you with?
What is the group of elements called that do not conduct electricity?
The group of elements that do not conduct electricity are generally called non metals.
Is the element element conduct eletricity?
only metal elements conduct electricity, and they do it very well
Are most metal elements brittle and don't conduct electricity?
Most metal elements are not brittle and do conduct electricity. However, there are exceptions, such as bismuth and mercury, which are brittle or poor conductors of electricity. Overall, metals are known for their malleability and good conductivity of electricity.
What are elements that do not conduct electricity called?
These elements are called noncoductors.
Is iron conductive elements?
Yes- iron is a metal, and all metals conduct electricity.
What are elements that conduct electricity classified as?
These elements are metals.
What is the group of elements called that do not conduct electricity?
The group of elements that do not conduct electricity are generally called non metals.
What is the definition of elements that are shiny and that conduct electricity?
Elements that are shiny and conduct electricity are called metals. These elements have a high luster, or metallic shine, and their outer electrons are free to move, allowing them to conduct electricity. Examples of shiny, metallic elements include copper, silver, and gold.
Which tipe of elements conduct electricity the best?
I would say that salt water would conduct electricity best.
What are the group of elements called that can conduct electricity?
Conductors
Is the element element conduct eletricity?
only metal elements conduct electricity, and they do it very well
What elements usually have the ability to be stretched bent and conduct electricity?
The metal elements.
Are most metal elements brittle and don't conduct electricity?
Most metal elements are not brittle and do conduct electricity. However, there are exceptions, such as bismuth and mercury, which are brittle or poor conductors of electricity. Overall, metals are known for their malleability and good conductivity of electricity.
Which groups of elements are all malleable conduct electricity and are lustrous?
Metals are the group of elements that are malleable, conduct electricity, and are lustrous. Metals are typically found on the left side of the periodic table.
Which elements don't conduct electricity?
there is no element that can't conduct electricity, only elements that do it well and others that don't do it so well. Rubber is a very poor conductor of electricity, while copper, silver and gold are very good conductors.
What are nonmetals?
Non-metals are dull, brittle elements that do not conduct electricity.
What elements conduct electricity at room temperature?
Metals such as copper, silver, and gold conduct electricity well at room temperature. Other elements like aluminum, iron, and nickel also conduct electricity, although not as well as the aforementioned metals.
