Question

-Show that metals are good conductors of electricity​

Answer 1

Answer:

Metals are an excellent conductor of electricity and heat because the atoms in the metals form a matrix through which outer electrons can move freely. Instead of orbiting their respective atoms, they form a sea of electrons that surround the positive nuclei of the interacting metal ions.

Answer 2

Answer:

Metals are good conductors because they consist of lattice of atoms with free electrons. The free electrons allow a current to flow through. When a negative charge is applied at one end, the electrons are repelled from the negative charge, and move towards the other end.

Explanation:

Metals are an excellent conductor of electricity and heat because the atoms in the metals form a matrix through which outer electrons can move freely. Instead of orbiting their respective atoms, they form a sea of electrons that surround the positive nuclei of the interacting metal ions.

Conductors:

• silver.
• copper.
• gold.
• aluminum.
• iron.
• steel.
• brass.
• bronze.
