Why the nature of materials affect the resistance?

The nature of materials affects resistance because different materials have varying numbers of free electrons, which are responsible for conducting electricity. Materials with more free electrons, like metals, have lower resistance since electrons can flow more easily through them. Conversely, insulating materials have high resistance because they have very few free electrons available for conducting electricity.


Is a 2p a conductor or an insulator?

A 2p orbital does not determine whether a material is a conductor or insulator. Conductivity is determined by the number of free electrons that can move through a material. Materials with many free electrons are typically conductors, while materials with few free electrons are insulators.


What material is most difficult for electrons to flow through?

Insulators are materials through which electrons have the most difficulty flowing. This is because insulators have very few free electrons that are able to move through the material. Materials like rubber, plastic, and wood are good examples of insulators.


Which is none magnetic materials?

A non-magnetic matieral is one where there are no (or very few) free electrons to conduct the electro-magnetic field. One basic example is plastic.


How some material are better conductors of electricity than others?

Materials that are better conductors of electricity typically have more free electrons that are able to move easily through the material when a voltage is applied. Metals are good conductors because they have many free electrons in their outer energy levels. In comparison, insulators have few free electrons and do not conduct electricity well.


What is a sharing of electrons?

There are a few things that a shared pair of electrons can be called. Many people call these electrons bonded.

Why are some solid materials good thermal insulators while others are good conductors?

The ones that are called conductors, such as copper, and aluminum have many free electrons . free electrons are free to move from one atom to another , they are not closely tied to their nucleus. this flow is called electron drift, in other words current flow. As in a battery where the positive terminal has few electrons, and the negative has millions of electrons. attach a copper wire across them , and you have electron drift (current flow. solid materials such as rubber, plastic or porcelain or any non - metallic material are known as Insulators. They have no free electrons, thus no electron drift (current flow). an example of an insulator are rubber spacers, to make sure the motor cannot be grounded to the steel frame.


A body that has relatively few free electrons and offers comparatively great resistance to the movement of free electrons is a an?

insulator. Examples include rubber, glass, and plastic.


Why are insulators poor conductors?

Insulators are poor conductors because they have very few free electrons that can carry an electric charge. This limits their ability to conduct electricity compared to materials with more free electrons, like metals. Insulators also have high resistance to the flow of electric current, further inhibiting their ability to conduct electricity.


Why is Fes unaffected by a magnet?

Fes is unaffected by magnets because it is made of non-ferromagnetic materials that are not attracted to magnets. Ferromagnetic materials, like iron, are the ones that are most strongly affected by magnetic fields.


Why non-metal things don't attract to magnets?

There are very few non metallic materials that are magnetic or para-magnetic (attracted to magnets). The primary reason is that the outer electrons need to all spin or be able to spinn in the same direction. Only metals have appropriate electrons. That is why they are called metals.
