Things that electricity move through easily are called conductors. The reason electricity moves through these materials more easily than others is that the electrons in these materials are not tightly bound or even associated with any particular atom. Physicist like to think of the the electrons in conductors as forming some kind of charged gas or liquid. They call it a sea of electrons. Please take note that I do not mean to send the impression that electrons in a conductor LITERALLY form a liquid or gas, but their movements are such to lend themselves to that analogy. We think of a wire kind of as a water pipe. One droplet of water entering the pipe on one side sends precisely one drop of water out of the other side. Really electricity is motion, the motion of charge carrier (electrons in metals). Their movement is a response to the electric field, which is a consequence (in a circuit) of a non-uniform distribution of charges.

Which Properties make it difficult for electricity to pass through?
rubber would be an example of something that does not allow electricity to move through it easily
What is the path which electricity travels called?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
What material can electricity pass through?
As unsatisfying as I'm sure you'll find this, that depends on your definition of "electricity." If you mean electricity in the most conventional sense of an electrical current, electricity can move through any medium in which charge carrying quantons (protons, elecrtons, etc) can move at least somewhat freely.
Electricity refers to elections that do not move lighting?
Electricity is electrons moving through a conductor like copper and creating a current. So no it does not create light unless you rune the electricity through a florescent tube.
What is a science conductor?
A conductor is an object (usually a solid) that allows heat or electricity to pass through it easily by the process of conduction, which is a method of heat/electricity transfer in which heat/electricity travels through a solid material without actually causing movement of the medium. Copper, aluminium, and pretty much all metals are good conductors. Water is a conductor of electricity but an insulator of heat. An insulator is the opposite of a conductor, and absorbs heat/electricity rather than channeling it. Plastic is an insulator of both heat and electricity. Wood, styrofoam and vacuum (dead air, like in space) are also heat insulators.
Does not electricity to move through it easily?
rubber would be an example of something that does not allow electricity to move through it easily

What is the path which electricity travels called?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
What does electricity move through?
No, it does not.
What is useful about static electricity?
You can move things with static electricity!
What provides electricity for things that moves around?
A battery provides electricity for things that move around
What supplys energy to move electricity through a circuit?
A battery supplies energy to move electricity through a circuit (Remember, a circuit is a wire.)
What books are about electricity?
No, electricity can not move through paper
Why do metals conduct current easily?
Because metals have a sea of electrons. The electrons are free to move about, thus easily move to conduct heat or electricity.
What are materials that allow electrons to move through them easily?
A conductor. Most metals are conductors-they enable electrons to move freely through them, carrying an electrical charge. Most non-metals (notably excluding graphite, an isotope of carbon) are insulators which means that they do not allow an electrical charge to be carried through them.
What is a material that doesn't allow charges to move through it easily?
Wood An insulator is a material that does not allow charges to move through it easily.
What are rocks through which petroleum and gas can move?
They move most easily through sandstones.
