Because it's a metal.
No, seriously, that's why. Metal atoms share electrons in what's called the "metallic bond"... electrons are not strongly associated with one or even a few atoms, but can fairly freely move throughout the entire bulk of the metal. These "conduction band" electrons make it easy to put electrons in at one end and get (different) electrons out the other end of a piece of metal.

Would a silver coin conduct electricey what kind of bonds does silver have?
Yes a silver coin can conduct electricity, Silver is one of the most commonly used to conduct electricity. Yes, silver is a very good conductor of electricity
Does silver fluoride conduct electricity?
No
Does silver nitrate conduct electricity?
yes
Substance which conduct electricity but not heat?
Most of the metals are good conductors of both electricity and heat. However, silver conducts heat very poorly. Substances made out of silver like silver spoon will not conduct much heat.
Does solid silver conduct electricity?
All metals do. Silver is one of the best conductors - better than copper in fact.

Does silver fluoride conduct electricity?
No
Does silver nitrate conduct electricity?
yes
Will silver react to electricity?
Silver is a conductor, so it will conduct electricity. If exposed to much electricity, than silver wire will melt/deform.
What metals conduct electricity the best besides silver and copper?
Zinc, gold, silver and many others. You see all metals can conduct electricity.
Will pencil lead conduct electricity?
Yes, Pencil Lead does conduct Electricity. Copper, Gold and Silver though are the best conductors.
Why is silver able to conduct electricity?
cause it is a metal which is a conductor
What is the ability to conduct electricity for silver?
Silver has an extremely high conductivity
Does silver or gold conduct electricity better?
Silver is the best electrical conductor between metals.
What element do not conduct electricity or heat?
gold and silver are low conductors
What are 3 good conductor?
Good conductors of electricity are copper, aluminum, and silver. In all elements that can conduct electricity, silver was said as the best, in terms of conducting electricity.
Does silver that has oxidized conduct electricity?
Not especially well. However, the oxidation is usually limited to the surface, so the pure silver "core" will still conduct.
