== == Electricity is the flow of electrons. Electrons move from one atom to the next adjacent atom. Electrons exist within shells at different distances from the nucleus of the atom. Copper has only one electron in it's outermost shell and therefore it is easy to strip the electron away and move it to the next atom, which simultaneously sheds it's electron. In addition, copper is very dense, meaning that the atoms are very compact...or close together to allow this transfer more freely.

Why molten sulfur can't conduct electricity but molten copper chloride can?
Molten sulfur consists of S8 molecules that do not have free-moving charge carriers, so they cannot conduct electricity. On the other hand, molten copper chloride dissociates into Cu+ and Cl- ions, which are free to move and carry electrical charge, making it capable of conducting electricity.
Does copper wire conduct sound?
Since sound is the effect of vibrations in a media, copper can definitely conduct sound. However, as a wire it would have a certain damping factor, much a like spring, that would absorb the energy of sound vibrations. So a sheet of copper would conduct sound, but a thin wire would not.
Does copper absorb static electricity?
No, copper does not absorb static electricity. It is a good conductor of electricity, so any static charge on copper will quickly dissipate along its surface.
Does sugar in solid form conduct electricity?
No, sugar in solid form does not conduct electricity because it does not contain free ions or electrons to facilitate the flow of electric current. Sugar is a non-electrolyte, meaning it does not ionize in water to produce charged particles needed for conducting electricity.
Does ammonium nitrate conduct electricity?
Ammonia is a gas. Gases do conduct electricity, as all materials do. However, they conduct electricity so poorly that we consider them insulators. "Electricity" requires the movement of electrons. In a gas, these electrons are too dispersed to provided any measurable current. So it does conduct electricity and heat, however conducts them both very poorly ;')
Does plutonium conduct electricity and how well?
not so well not so well
Why plastics donnot connduct electricity afterall it is made up of atoms?
The atoms it is made out of do not have 1 or 2 valence electron on the outer shell, so therefore they do not conduct electricity well. Atoms that do have 1 or 2 valence electron on the outer shell, like copper, conduct electricity well.
Does argon gas conduct electricity and heat?
gases do not conduct heat or electricity well. metals conduct both well. but argon is a conductor
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.
Why do human beings conduct electricity so well?
because they do!
Why do some materials conduct electricity?
For a material to conduct electricity , it has to be impure , so for example pure silicon cannot conduct electricity but Silicon chips in computers that are mixed with other things can. So the materials that conduct are charged with little particles that allow the flow of electricityBecause of electrolytes. Or because of the metal something is made of.
Why copper sulphate is able to conduct electricity in water but not ethanol?
Copper sulfate dissociates into ions in water, allowing the ions to move and carry an electric current. Ethanol does not dissociate into ions as easily as water, so it is not able to conduct electricity as effectively.
Why molten sulfur can't conduct electricity but molten copper chloride can?
Molten sulfur consists of S8 molecules that do not have free-moving charge carriers, so they cannot conduct electricity. On the other hand, molten copper chloride dissociates into Cu+ and Cl- ions, which are free to move and carry electrical charge, making it capable of conducting electricity.
What materials from the kitchen conduct electricity the best?
Materials like metals (such as aluminum, copper, and iron) are good conductors of electricity. In the kitchen, items like pots and pans made from these metals can conduct electricity well. It's important to note that water is a good conductor of electricity too, so caution should be taken around electrical appliances in the kitchen.
What is the importance for uses of minerals in a devices?
Well in order for the phone to work you have to have these curtain type of minerals like, copper, gold, ..... and so and so. If you don't have those your phone wont quite work. If you don't have a mineral that does not conduct the electricity as well.
Does camphor conduct electricity?
No, camphor does not conduct electricity. It is a type of organic compound, so it cannot ionize to conduct electricity.
Can aluminum conduct electricity when molten or in solutin?
Yes, aluminum can conduct electricity when in the molten state, as the ions are free to move and carry electric charge. In solution, aluminum typically forms ionic compounds, so it can conduct electricity as well.
