How does the structure of atoms in a substance determine the substance's conductivity? (1 point)

Question

• If an atom's outer shell of electrons is tightly bound to the nucleus, the substance is a good conductor.
• If an atom's outer shell of electrons is positively charged, the substance is a good conductor.
• If an atom's outer shell of electrons is loosely bound to the nucleus, the substance is a good conductor.
• If an atom's nucleus is positively charged, the substance is a good conductor.

Answer 1

If an atom's outer shell of electrons is loosely bound to the nucleus, the substance is a good conductor.
