Conducting materials are composed of atoms with
A)strong cohesive forces between them.
B)loose outer electrons.
C)excess neutrons compared with protons.
D)vastly more charge than insulators.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conducting materials typically have outer electrons that are not strongly bound to their respective atoms, allowing for easy movement of charge carriers. Therefore, choice B is the best answer. Choices A, C, and D are all incorrect, as there is no correlation between cohesive forces, neutron/proton ratio, or overall charge and the ability of a material to conduct electricity.
