Question

Solids in which electrons are able to move easily from one atom to another are: a) conductors b) electrically charged c) capacitors d) insulators

Answer 1

a) Conductors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conductors are solids that have free electrons. Some of the examples of solids that are conductors are Steel, Iron, Silver, Copper etc. How best a metallic solid can conduct depends on the number of conduction electrons present in it.These electrons are called conduction electrons.

Not all solids are conductors. For example, wood is a solid, but it is not a conductor. It is an insulator.

Insulators are those materials that do not have free electrons.

Semiconductors are the materials that behave as conductors under certain conditions

Answer 2

Option a) conductors

Step-by-step explanation:

Conductors are the solids which allows the movement of electrons from atom to atom.

• In conductors, electrons are free to move in the conductor's vicinity thus these free electrons contributes to the electrical conductivity of the conductor.
• A body is said to be electrically charged when the electrons in the atoms of the body are not evenly shared.
• Capacitors are the elements for the storage of electric charge.
• Insulators are the materials with no free electrons and have a high energy gap which do not allow the conduction of electricity.
