Although some are better than others, most metals are good conductors of electricity. Silver, Gold, and Platinum are very good conductors but are expensive, so they are not often used. Copper and Aluminum are reasonably good conductors and are fairly inexpensive.

Electrical conductors are any materials that offer little resistance to the flow of an electrical current. All materials conduct electricity to some extent. However, some are much better conductors than others. ... Examples of good conductors are silver, copper, and graphite. In fact, most metals are good...

If a material allows free electrons to move easily from one atom to another then we call that material a conductor. As we said earlier, most metals let their free electrons roam, so most metals are good conductors. ... This means that plastics are poor conductors of electricity (and they are also poor conductors of heat).

Date: Tue Jan 9 11:41:20 2001; Posted By: ... JR, The conductivity of a material is determined by the energy needed to excite electrons in the outer most shells of its atoms or molecules. ... The greater the energy needed to excite the electrons (or the more strongly bound the electrons are to the nuclei of their atoms),
