Which statement best describes conductors?

A. Lack free electrons that can move to other atoms

B. Electrons within their atoms are strongly held by the nuclei

C. Permits charged particles to move freely through it

D. Most electrons within their atoms are paired

Answers:

C. Permits charged particles to move freely through it

Explanation:

The best statement that describes conductors is that they permit charged particles to move freely through them.

Conductors are substances that allows electrical and thermal conduction. They are mostly metals and some non-metals with free mobile electrons and ions.

The charged particles are usually electrons and ions.

Metals that are conductors have free mobile electrons. Non-metals in solution produce ions that acts to carry charged particles.

This movement facilitates the conduction of electrical currents.
