What happens to the electrons in an insulator?
In an insulator, electrons are tightly bound to their atoms or molecules and are not free to move around. This makes insulators poor conductors of electricity because the electrons cannot flow easily through the material.
In a good insulator electrons are usually?
In a good insulator, electrons are tightly bound to their atoms and have limited freedom to move. Due to this strong binding, insulators do not conduct electricity well as the electrons cannot easily flow through the material.
What property makes a material a good insulator?
No shared electrons between neighboring atoms/molecules in the material makes for a good electric insulator.A good thermal insulator has lots of air or gas (which insulates) trapped in the material.
What is the difference between a insualator and a conductor?
An insulator is a material that does not allow electric current to flow through it easily, while a conductor is a material that allows electric current to flow through it easily. Insulators have high resistance to electric current, while conductors have low resistance. This property is determined by the arrangement of electrons in the atoms of the material.
Is glass a conductor or an insulator?
Myella! Glass is an insulator... hehehaha.

Is glass insulator or conductor?
Glass is an insulator, as it DOES NOT conduct current. It is a material which has no free electrons available to flow as electrical current. Conductors, like copper or aluminum, have free electrons, or electrons in the outer shells of their atoms that are easily knocked loose. These electrons flow from negative to positive when an electrical potential (voltage) is applied across the material. We call the flow of electrons "current".
A conductor differs from an insulator in that a conductor is an?
A conductor is a material that has one or a few electrons in the outer shell of its atoms. These electrons are easily knocked loose, or are already moving about in the material. When a voltage is applied to a conductor, these electrons are repelled by the negative polarity and attracted by the positive polarity. Their movement is called "current". a conductor is a material that transports electrons and electricity can pass through it, metals are good conductors. a insulator is something that is a barrier to electrons and can not pass electricity, rubber is a good insulator.
In a good insulator electrons are usually?
In a good insulator, electrons are tightly bound to their atoms and have limited freedom to move. Due to this strong binding, insulators do not conduct electricity well as the electrons cannot easily flow through the material.
Are the electrons in an insulator tightly bound to their atoms?
Yes, in an insulator, the electrons are tightly bound to their respective atoms. This strong binding prevents the electrons from flowing freely, which is why insulators do not conduct electricity well.
What is the difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?
outer electrons of the atoms in a metal are not anchored to the nuclei of particular atoms, but are free to roam in the material. such materials are good conductors.
In a permanent magnet the magnetism comes from?
Mainly from the electrons, rotating around the nucleus. If the material is magnetized, then it is because several atoms are aligned in the same direction.Mainly from the electrons, rotating around the nucleus.

In order to build up a charge does a material need to be a conductor or an insulator?
no....absolutely not...to acquire charge, either the material(atoms to be specific) must lose some electrons or gain some....eg. rubbing a glass rod and wool
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.
