All matter is made up of atoms.
Each atom comprises a nucleus and a given number of electrons. A distinction is made between free and bound electrons. The bound or nuclear electrons determine the physical properties of the material. These electrons cannot simply be extracted from the atomic structure. The free electrons, on the other hand, can easily be split from the atom and transferred to other atoms or remain free for a short while.
