• electrons 
• atoms
• protons 

electrons are part of

• nucleus 
• electricity

• molecule 

materials that allow electrons to move easily from atom to atom are called

• resistors 
• conductors
• insulators
• breakers 

materials that do not allow electrons to move easily from atom to atom are ______________________
