Yes, Because they have a large number of free electrons. Having lots of free electrons makes it easier to nudge the electrons around, thus creating electric current.
The best conductors are silver, copper, gold and aluminum respectively. Cost, weight and ease of handling dictate using copper or aluminum as conductors in most industries. Also it is used in piping as it is unreactive with water.

Yes. Because of the metallic bonds in copper, it is a very good conductor.
yes it is

Is silver an electrical conductor?
Silver is very good conductor of electricity. It is better electrical conductor than copper. Silver is not commonly used as it is much expensive element.
Why is copper a good conductor?
Copper is a good conductor to to it's mixed-valence Cu(II)/Cu(III) oxides which gives it zero electrical resistance.
The copper is an insulator?
yes copper is actually a very good insulator to both heat and electric conducting A2: NO. Copper is about the second-best electrical conductor, next to silver. It is also a very Good heat conductor. Try heating an iron poker in a fire. The heat travels slowly to the opposite end. A copper wire, however, if stuck in the fire, will transfer heat Very quickly--you won't be able to hold the other end of it! wikipedia.org/copper
Can copper wire would be a good conductor of electricity?
i sure hope so. copper is the most common metal used for electrical circuits.
Is copper an insulator or a conductor?
It is a very good conductor. It is used in wiring to deliver electricity.
Is a copper nail a conductor insulator?
Copper is a good electrical and thermal conductor.
Copper is a good electrical what?
Conductor
What is the element in electrical wires?
Copper. Copper is an excellent conductor.
Why are cars not made from copper?
Copper is an excellent electrical conductor.
Give an example of an electrical insulator and an electrical conductor in the house?
conductor-copper insulator-rubber
What is copper used for as an electrical conductor?
Wires.
Do copper carry current?
Yes, copper is a good electrical conductor.
Why is copper wire the best known conductor?
The best electrical conductor known is silver, not copper. Electrical resistivity of silver: 1,59.10-8 ohm.m Electrical resistivity of copper: 1,68.10-8 ohm.m A good electrical conductor has a very low electrical resistivity and a high electrical conductivity (the same principles for the thermal conductivity).
Would a copper pipe work better as a conductor or an insulator?
Copper is a good conductor, that's why it is used to make electrical wire.
What is a example of a electrical conductor?
A copper wire would be an example of a conductor of electricity.
Is copper a good electricity conductor?
Yea it is! That is why most of electrical wires are made of Copper!
What is the conductor of electricity for copper?
The electrical conductivity of copper is 1,7241 microhm.cm at 20 oC.
