Because they have free electrons. The electrons are not tightly bound to the nuclei of their atoms and are free to drift around the metal, carrying electric charge through it.
Yes, all metals conduct electricity due to the metallic bonding which is where all the atoms are connected in a lattice like shape but every atom has one electron 'free'. These electrons are free to move around and as such conduct electricity.
Yes, painted surfaces on metal file cabinets can conduct electricity as long as the paint does not act as an insulator by forming a thick, continuous layer that prevents electrical conductivity. If the paint is thin or has properties that allow for conductivity, then the metal beneath the paint can still conduct electricity.
Metals can conduct electricity because they have free electrons that can move easily through the material, allowing electric current to flow.
A slinky toy can conduct electricity because it is made of metal, which is a good conductor of electricity. When a voltage is applied to the slinky, the electrons in the metal can move freely, allowing the electricity to flow through it.
Copper, and to a lesser extent gold, are used in conductors.
Metal conduct electricity and flow of electricity is the current.
all metals can conduct electricity
Yes, Sodium is a metal and it does conduct electricity.
Carbon can conduct electricity reasonably well and is a non-metal.
carbon is not a metal and can conduct electricity
Of course it does!
yes, there is metal which will conduct
AS most stoves are made of metal, uninsulated parts of them will conduct electricity.
Yes, lutetium can conduct electricity as it is a metal and has metallic properties like high electrical conductivity.
The physical properties of different metals make them useful for different purposes in metals can move through the metal, allowing metals to conduct electricity.
The metal wiring was able to conduct electricity.
yes....it does
