These electrons are loosely bound to the atom, allowing them to move freely and conduct electricity. The number of electrons in the outermost shell determines the type of <a href='/Semi<a href='/Conductor'>conductor</a>'>semi<a href='/Conductor'>conductor</a></a> material. Materials with four electrons in the outermost shell are called
