📖 Why Metals Conduct Electricity
Metals contain electrons that can move relatively freely through the material. When a voltage is applied, these mobile electrons carry electric charge. Materials such as rubber hold electrons more tightly and are poor conductors. This difference is why metal wires are often covered with insulating plastic.
1. What key idea begins the explanation?
2. What mechanism or supporting detail is described?
3. What additional evidence or effect is given?
4. How does the final detail deepen the explanation?
