Some materials are good at transferring electric charge. They are called ________ Other materials are not good at transferring electric charge. They are called ________ Metals are good at transferring electric charge. Based on what you know about charge think about what you wrote in #L about the structure of an atom) what do you think it is about metals structurally that allows them to transfer charge easily ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Some materials are good at transferring electric charge. They are called condictors. Other materials are not goof at transferring electric charge. They are called insulators

Metals are good conductors of electric charge. This is because of their unique atomic structure. In metals, the outermost energy level of atoms, called the valence shell, contains only a few electrons. These valence electrons are loosely bound to their respective atoms and can move freely throughout the metal structure
