CONDUCTORS
A CONDUCTOR is any material that easily allows electrons (electricity) to flow.

A CONDUCTOR has 1 to 3 free electrons in the outer ring.Because atoms with 1 to 3 electrons in the outer ring are held (bound) loosely to the atom, they can easily move to another atom or make room for more electrons.

Conductor material includes copper and gold.
