Answer:

Explanation:

As with all atoms known, electrons moves in discrete energy levels round a well defined orbit.

Protons are restricted to the nucleus of an atom. They occupy this small and massive position along with the neutrons.

Metals, have a large dense cloud of electrons.

  • Every atom is made up of three fundamental particles.
  • Protons, neutrons and electrons are these particles.
  • Protons are positively charged and they occupy the tiny nucleus. Neutrons are found in the nucleus with them. They do not carry any charge.
  • It is correct to infer their position as being fixed.
  • Electrons occupies the bulk of the volume of the atom.
  • They orbit round the tiny nucleus.

Therefore, it is safe to conclude that in metal conductors, electrons move but protons do not just like in every other atom.

Protons do not move in a metal conductor because they are stable in the nucleus.

Conductors

A conductor is a type of material that allows the flow of charge (electric current) in one or more directions.

In metallic conductors, the movable charged particles are electrons, though in other cases they can be ions.

Every atom of a conductor consists of three particles protons, neutrons and electrons.

  • Protons of a conductor are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.
  • Neutrons do not carry any charge and they are mostly moved in the nucleus of the atom with protons.
  • Electrons move in the outer orbit of the nucleus and they moved randomly.

Protons are attracted to both other protons as well as neutrons. So inside a nucleus, there exists a battle between electrical repulsion and nuclear attraction. The proton by itself is stable but the strong force is not quite strong enough to bind two protons.

Hence we can conclude that in a metal conductor, electron moves but protons do not move.
