प्रश्न
The atoms of copper contain electrons and the atoms of rubber also contain electrons. Then why does copper conduct electricity but rubber does not conduct electricity?

उत्तर
In a copper atom, the electrons in the outermost orbit are lightly bound to the nucleus of the atom and so they move freely. This free flow of electrons makes copper a good conductor of electricity. In rubber, the electrons in the outermost orbits are tightly bound to the nucleus. So, they do not flow freely and hence, rubber is not a good conductor of electricity.
