Metals are the good conductor of electricity because they contain free electrons. These free electrons can move easily in the the lattice of metal & carry current along with them. SILVER is the best conductor of electricity.

Because the free electrons transform from one place to another rapidly which results in the production of electric current....

Conductivity of electricity depends on the availability of free and mobile electrons. Metals find it easier to donate electrons rather than accepting electrons in order to achieve their duet or octet shell.

Due to their outer electronic configuration being ns1 they contain minimum 1 free electrons so there is a conducting property.

Current is produced because of the free electrons, metals are good conductors of electricity, its all because of free electrons.

By the free electrons we are getting electricity.

They have free electron and on applying external force of current they move rapidly.

The conduction and valance band are overlapped and hence it conduct.

There is no energy gap so its very easy for free electrons to move.

They have free electrons which are always moved and due to these electrons electricity can be carried from one place to another thats why metals are good conductor of electricity.
