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

Amit Kumar Sahu said:   1 decade ago
Because the free electrons transform from one place to another rapidly which results in the production of electric current....

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

Kigemuzi Marvin said:   1 decade ago
Free electrons ably interfere with external fields due to their high mobility hence good conduction.

Why?

Yes, their are free electrons but the atoms in solids ar tightly packed too.

Am I right?

Selva said:   9 years ago
Metals are the good conductor, because it have free electrons in the outer most orbital.

Abhishek tiwari said:   9 years ago
Because in metal the electrons are closely packed so that the flow of current is easy.

Priyanka said:   1 decade ago
They have free electron and on applying external force of current they move rapidly.

Madhav said:   1 decade ago
Metals are good conductor of electricity because it eject the electrons.

Hari said:   1 decade ago
The conduction and valance band are overlapped and hence it conduct.
