the same way as it conducts heat. Through free electrons. the structure of an atom works like this. there is a nucleus in the middle with shells around the outside. the most inner shell can hold two electrons whilst all the others hold eight. if, like copper, an atom has its most outer shell with only one shell away from another full shell. then it will have a maximum number of free electrons. and so the more free electrons (max. of seven) the better the conductor of everything. thank you.
What else can I help you with?
Does earthing wire carry current?
The earthing wire does not normally carry current.
Is steel a conductor or an insulator?
Yes Every metal is a conductor because of the free electrons (Except Silicon and Germanium; They are semi-metals) Yes, steel is a conductor
Ions which allow a solution to conduct electricity are known as?
Salts that ionize in water and form solutions that can conduct a current are called electrolyte.example: sodium chloride,potassium chloride.
How is the mouth adapted to carry out its role?
The mouth is adapted to carry out its role through the presence of teeth for grinding and chewing food, salivary glands that secrete saliva to help break down food, and the tongue for manipulating food and swallowing. The shape and structure of the mouth also allow for speaking and breathing.
Which structure carry out photosynthesis in some bacteria?
photosynthetic membranes
Is polythene a good conductor?
No, polythene is not a good conductor of electricity. It is actually an insulator, meaning it does not allow the flow of electric current easily. This is due to its molecular structure that does not have free electrons to carry charge.
What does to allow energy of electricity to flow mean?
It means that you let an electrical current flow. The current will, of course, carry energy.
Which is the material that does not carry current?
Insulators are materials that do not carry current as they have high resistance. Examples of insulators include rubber, plastic, glass, and wood. These materials hinder the flow of electrical current due to their atomic structure.
What are the differences in skeletal structure of human male and female?
Slight difference in the pelvic area to allow a woman to carry a child in the womb.
What are comductors and insulators?
Conductors are materials that allow the flow of electrical current easily, such as metals. Insulators are materials that do not allow the flow of electrical current easily, such as rubber or plastic. Conductors have freely moving electrons that can carry the current, while insulators have tightly bound electrons that do not move easily.
What Things do Conductors Have in Common?
If you are talking about electricity then all conductors have either de-localised electrons in their structure which means when a current is passed through they will move and carry the current with them. Ions can also carry charges but they have to be in solution or in liquid form.
What is the material that allow the current to flow easily?
Materials that allow current to flow easily are known as conductors. Common examples of conductors include metals like copper, silver, and aluminum due to their free-flowing electrons that can carry electric charge efficiently.
Does earthing wire carry current?
The earthing wire does not normally carry current.
Do you need a conceal and carry license if you are protected under the right to bear arms?
Under current law - yes. HOWEVER - some states DO have "open carry" provisions in their laws, whoich allow citizens to OPENLY and IN FULL VIEW carry sidearms.
How much fluid ounces are allowed on a plane according to current regulations?
The current regulations allow passengers to bring containers with up to 3.4 fluid ounces of liquid in their carry-on luggage when flying on a plane.
Does the TSA allow razor blades in carry-on luggage?
No, the TSA does not allow razor blades in carry-on luggage.
Which particles carry an electric current around a circuit?
The particles that carry charge around a circuit are electrons. In some semiconductors, missing electrons in a crystalline structure (of silicon or germanium), caused by adding special impurities, form spaces called "holes" where there is a missing electron. These "holes" can also travel but, in the end, it is electrons that move in the opposite direction to fill those holes that carry the current.
