Yes. Molten or liquid metal will conduct electricity very well. The high thermal energy will push lots of electrons in the metal into the conduction band, or will lower the conduction band to the point where lots and lots of electrons can be in it. (It depends on which way you prefer to look at the situation.)

Some metals react with water forming hydroxides: lithium , sodium, potassium, caesium, rubidium, etc. But is not a true example of solubility.

*So no a metal is not soluble in water? - No, any metal is soluble in water !
