What causes electrons to flow through a conductor?
There are 1 to 3 electrons in outer orbit of a conductor witch the element wants to give away in order to have inner orbit complete at the cost of getting positive charge when forced by the electric voltage.If outer orbit have 4 electrons like carbon,silicon or germanium, it acts as a semiconductor. And if outer orbit have more than 5 electrons, it will resist electron flow.
7 Give examples of a conductor and an insulator?
If we speak in terms of electrical conductivity, some good insulators are ceramics, plastics, rubber and glass. Conductors are, on the other hand, metals in general: copper, silver, gold, but there are some good conductors that are not metals, like graphite and some salt solutions.
What can you infer about any object that give you static shock when you touch it?
its a conductor
Give you an examples of conductor?
A conductor is any substance that allows electricity to flow through it easily usually because of the presence of free electrons, that include copper, silver and aluminium and Mercury. Generally, metals are considered to be good conductors. By: Student of Technological University of the philippines
Picture of good conductor of electriccity?
I don't have a picture to give you, but I can describe some things that would be good conductors and you can find the pictures yourself. A sterling silver bracelet A penny Pretty much anything metal
What kinds objects give up electrons easily?
Carpets and balloons both give up electrons easily.
When non metals are most active they can do what?
easily gain electrons
Why are metals electrically conductive?
The electrons in their valence band are so loosely bound that in the bulk material they form an "electron gas" that fills the material and can freely flow in response to voltage placed across that material.
How are conductors and insulators different give an example of a conductor and an insulator?
conductors, such as metals, have free electrons, meaning their electrons are not strongly bonded to the atoms and a charge can move easily throughout the whole object, an insulator such as wood does not have free electrons so a charge is likely to stick in one area of the insulator.
What elements easily give up electrons?
Group 1 elements, such as lithium, sodium, and potassium, easily give up electrons because they have one electron in their outer shell and are highly reactive. Additionally, elements in Group 17, such as fluorine and chlorine, can also easily gain electrons.
What kinds of object give up electrons easily?
Carpets and balloons both give up electrons easily.
What is the relation between good conductor and good heat transfer?
Good conductors are materials that allow heat to flow through them easily. Therefore, good conductors are also good for heat transfer. This is because the free electrons in good conductors can move quickly and transfer thermal energy efficiently.
Why does valence electron give up outermost energy easily?
The force of attraction between the atom's nucleus and its valence electrons are the least. Hence valence electrons are lost easily.
Can a conductor be given limitless charges?
No, in theory I guess you could give it enough to fill all valence electrons in all of the atoms in the conductor, but practically this could not be achieved.
What are materials called that do not easily give up or take on electrons?
Thede are unreactive elements.
What name do you give to materials that let eletricity pass through them easily And why?
The material is conductive. Metals (copper or aluminum, etc) allows charged particles of electrons to move freely in either direction along their length.
Does Francium give away electrons easily or hold on to them tightly?
Francium gives away electrons very easily due to its location in the alkali metal group, which makes its outer electron very loosely bound. This makes Francium highly reactive and likely to form ions by losing its single valence electron.
