Metals conduct electricity and electric current. Electric current is possible when charged particles are free to move. A metallic bond is the bond between a positive metal and the atoms in metal (metal atoms combined in regular patterns in which valence electrons are free to move from atom to atom).

How do metallic bonding cause metals to conduct electricit current?
It conducts electricity
What are the 3 metallic properties?
They are lustrous and malleable They conduct heat They conduct electric current
What do mobile electrons produce?
Ability to conduct a current electric mabeability
Does lead slow down electric currents?
Not to any perceivable level. Lead will conduct an electrical current, as will any metallic object.
Why does conduct of electricity require a cord?
Electric current is the movement of electrons. Various materials can conduct current, but the best materials are metals, because they have plenty of electrons which can move freely. Electric appliances, therefore, are provided with cords which contain metallic strands (usually copper) which carry the current.
How the structure of aluminium affect its properties?
well because of the free electrons in the structure of aluminium it is able to allow the passage of electron from electric current due to disassociated electrons in its structure basically because of the metallic bonding and the free electrons present it can conduct electricity and heat.
Does iodine conduct electric current?
no,
Which constitute the Electric current in a metallic conductor?
Electrons.
Why does metalic bonding cause metals to conduct electric current?
Metallic bonding involves positive metal cations surrounded by a 'sea' of delocalised electrons. These delocalised electrons are able to move freely as they are not joined to one particular atom. Normally, these electrons are moving completely randomly and so their resultant velocity is zero. However, when a potential difference is applied, these electrons gain a small resultant drift velocity that enables them to flow as an electric current.
Does water conduct an electric current?
Yes it does.
