Metal atoms have outer electrons which are not tied to any one atom. These electrons can move freely within the structure of a metal when an electric current is applied. There are no such free electrons in covalent or ionic solids, so electrons can't flow through them - they are non-conductors.
In a shorter term - no
it only happensonce every 7 years
Answer:
By balancing the chemical equation
Explanation:
The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be destroyed nor created.
That is, you must have the same amount of matter before and after a reaction.
Atoms are made of matter, so you must have the same number of each type of atom in the reactants as in the products. You must balance the equation.
Consider the reaction
2H₂ + O₂ ⟶ 2H₂O
You must have 2s in front of H₂ and H₂O to balance the atoms.
They give you four atoms of H and two atoms of O on each side of the arrow.
