Electricity is electrons flowing through an object---any object. The structure of metals makes it easier for electrons to flow. Also, electricity flows at very fast speed. However the electrons do not flow the same speed. Otherwise, when you turn on your light switch, an electron at the Power Station 10 miles away would zip into your house and to your light. Think of it as a long 100 foot tube(the wire) filled with ping pong balls. You start by pushing a ball into one end of the tube and a ball falls out the other end. The balls didn't travel at 100 feet; but the energy did.

Elements that conduct electricity are called metals. This is due to their ability to easily transfer electrons, allowing for the flow of electrical current. Some examples of metals that conduct electricity well include copper, silver, and aluminum.

What is the group of elements called that do not conduct electricity?
The group of elements that do not conduct electricity are generally called non metals.
Is the element element conduct eletricity?
only metal elements conduct electricity, and they do it very well
Are most metal elements brittle and don't conduct electricity?
Most metal elements are not brittle and do conduct electricity. However, there are exceptions, such as bismuth and mercury, which are brittle or poor conductors of electricity. Overall, metals are known for their malleability and good conductivity of electricity.
What are elements that do not conduct electricity called?
These elements are called noncoductors.
Elements in which groups tend to conduct electricity very well?
Elements in Group 1 and Group 17 of the periodic table tend to conduct electricity very well. Group 1 elements, such as lithium and sodium, have one electron in their outermost shell, making them highly reactive and good conductors of electricity. Group 17 elements, such as fluorine and chlorine, readily gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, also enabling them to conduct electricity.
What are elements that conduct electricity classified as?
These elements are metals.
What is the group of elements called that do not conduct electricity?
The group of elements that do not conduct electricity are generally called non metals.
Which tipe of elements conduct electricity the best?
I would say that salt water would conduct electricity best.
What are the group of elements called that can conduct electricity?
Conductors
Is the element element conduct eletricity?
only metal elements conduct electricity, and they do it very well
What elements usually have the ability to be stretched bent and conduct electricity?
The metal elements.
Are most metal elements brittle and don't conduct electricity?
Most metal elements are not brittle and do conduct electricity. However, there are exceptions, such as bismuth and mercury, which are brittle or poor conductors of electricity. Overall, metals are known for their malleability and good conductivity of electricity.
Which elements don't conduct electricity?
there is no element that can't conduct electricity, only elements that do it well and others that don't do it so well. Rubber is a very poor conductor of electricity, while copper, silver and gold are very good conductors.
What are nonmetals?
Non-metals are dull, brittle elements that do not conduct electricity.
What is a science fair project name for what materials conduct electricity?
"Conductivity Countdown: Investigating Materials for Electricity Flow"
Which elements of the periodic table are metals and nonmetals?
metals elements conduct electricity better than nonmetals elements but not as well as metalloid elements
Elements that have shiny surfaces and are able to conduct electricity are called?
they are called montas
