  • What are Conductors? Properties & Examples
    Materials that pass current easily are called conductors.

    Here's why:

    * Conductors have loosely bound electrons that can move freely throughout the material. This allows for the flow of electrical current.

    * Insulators, on the other hand, have tightly bound electrons and resist the flow of current.

    Examples of conductors include:

    * Metals: Copper, gold, silver, aluminum

    * Some liquids: Salt water, acid solutions

    * Some non-metals: Graphite (a form of carbon)
