The metallic bonds which form the molecular structure of the metal solid are characterized by a virtually free flow of electrons between individual atoms, whereas non-metallic molecular bonds tend to keep the same electrons around each atom unless they are actively reacting. Consequently, when a source of electricity is applied to a metal, the free flow of electrons makes the conduction of charge, and in turn, electricity, much easier than it would be in a nonmetallic compound.
What else can I help you with?
Is nonmetals a semiconductors?
Graphite is a non metal conductor.
Is glass or metal a better conductor?
Glass has a higher conductivity than thin plastic but,it is still lower than metal so metal may be a better conductor
Screwdriver handle conductor or insulator?
The metal part itself would be a conductor in theory but the handle would be an insulator as it is usually rubber or plastic.
Copper wire is an example of what?
A Reddish metal, a good conductor of electricity and heat, ductility, tensile strength, malleability, and good, clean fun!
Why does metal complete a circuit when you plug it into an outlet?
Metal is a good conductor of electricity hence it gives an easy path and completes the circuit.
Is metal wrench conductor?
YES, anything metal is a conductor.
Is metal Doorknob a conductor or insulator?
conductor
What is the only conductor that is not metal?
Graphite is a non-metal conductor due to its structure that allows electrons to move freely between its layers.
Is paper clip a conductor or insulators?
conductor. We just experimented in science last week.
Which metal serves the best conductor of electric charge?
the metal that serves as the best conductor of electric charge is the METAL
Is a metal paper clips conductor?
If it is made of metal, it is a conductor.
Is steel an electrical conductor?
yes,steel is a metal and all metals are good conductors of electricity no you are wrong their not every metal is a good conductor yes every metal is a conductor but not all are good conductor.
Is californium a conductor or insulator?
californium is a conductor because it is metal and can carry energy through it
Is there any other conductor that is not metal?
Graphite is a conductor and not a metal. Also molten salts and ionic (salt) solutions are conductors but not metal.
Is metal a good electrical conductor?
Metals are indeed good conductors. Silver, which is a metal, is the best conductor.
What is the difference between a plastic conductor and a metal conductor?
metal is like tine and plastice is not like tine
What type of metal is best conductor?
Silver is the best conductor
