They are attracted to the five thou-
sand billion positively charged protons in the
atomic nuclei of atoms in the penny.
Because of freely moving of electrons in the material
Electrons flow around the nucleus
an insulator
No. That's why it's an insulator.
The substances which have free electrons(which move freely ) act as conductor while those whose electrons held tightly (which can not move freely) are insulator.
they arent moving freely. they are loosely bound to the nucleus.
Because they are more strongly attracted to their corresponding nuclei.
A Conductor :)
Electrons move freely in a solid, as in a metal
To conduct electricity you need the ability for tiny particles called electrons to move freely from one atom or molecule to another. If there are no electrons moving freely, there is no electrical charge. :) hope this helps
Because of freely moving of electrons in the material
It gains electrons. The only charged particles which can freely move from one object to another are electrons. Electrons have negative charge. So adding electrons gives a negative charge, and removing electrons gives the object a positive charge.
protons????
Yes, electrons move freely in metals.
Metals have freely moving electrons as well as particles to conduct heat. The electrons move freely to pass thermal energy.
In electrical insulators electrons are not able to move freely.
