Electrons are negatively charged. Therefore they are attracted to a positive charge such as an atomic nucleus so becomes locked in an electron shell of the atom.

Is it electrons and free electrons are the same?

Physically all the electrons are similar.


What are free electrons or delocalized electrons?

Free electrons or delocalized electrons are electrons in a material that are not bound to a specific atom or molecule. These electrons are able to move freely throughout the material, contributing to its electrical conductivity. Delocalized electrons are commonly found in metals and conductive materials.


What is the energy band in which free electrons exist?

Free electrons exist in the conduction band, which is the highest energy band in a material where electrons are free to move and conduct electricity.


Why electron freely in a metal?

The term conductor is generally applied to a substance or material that has a lot of free electrons in it. The name conductor is applied because the free electrons are already there. A material does not have free electrons because it is a conductor, but is a conductor because it has a lot of free electrons. That said, let's look at what's going on. These free electrons have energies that permit them to "wander" through the conductor; they're not "locked into" the structure of the material. And when a voltage (potential difference) is applied, current flows through the conductor because the free electrons are moving. They're made to move by the applied voltage. If we take the case of a wire in a circuit, the wire is a conductor. This wire, say a copper one, has many free electrons in it, and when we apply a voltage, electrons move. The voltage forces electrons into one end of the wire, and the free electrons "shift over" and electrons emerge from the other end of the wire. This movement of free electrons in response to an applied voltage through an conductor is the essence of current flow in that conductor.
