Valence shell electrons. A metal is formed from a lattice of positive ions in a sea of delocalized electrons. These electrons are the valence shell electrons of the metal atoms and they are the ones that carry the charge during conduction.

How do you describe a daniell cell?
The Daniell cell was the first truly practical and reliable electric battery that supported many nineteenth century electrical innovations such as the telegraph. In the process of the reaction, electrons can be transferred from the corroding zinc to the copper through an electrically conducting path as a useful electric current. Zinc more readily loses electrons than copper, so placing zinc and copper metal in solutions of their salts can cause electrons to flow through an external wire which leads from the zinc to the copper
How does a dentist use an electric arc furnace?
asked this same question on yahoo answers bit.ly/bI4XxE, got this response: This piece of equipment is more commonly used in a dental laboratory. It would be used in production of things such as porcelain fused to metal(PFM) crowns or metal framework in dentures. Anything that would require metal to be cast for a specific purpose.
Is sodium and oxygen a metal or non-metal?
Do you breathe metal? Oxygen is a gas, not metal.
In a cell what produces the charges that provide current?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable to some ions. The differences in the concentrations of specific ions across nerve cell membranes, produces an electrical charge.
Is metal once alive?
don't you mean was metal Eva alive.... and the answers no
Electric current in a metal conductor is carried by?
Electric current in a metal conductor is carried by a wire. This wire has been specifically adapted to carry this current.
Is the electric current in a metal conductor is carried by positive ions?
Yes
What electron carried the current in a metal conductor?
The valance electrons.
What metal is a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
aluminum, copper,
Is wet metal a conductor?
Yes, metals when wet conduct electricity/electric current.
What shiny metal is a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Tranition metals
Which metal serves the best conductor of electric charge?
the metal that serves as the best conductor of electric charge is the METAL
Why is it dangerous to stick a metal knife into an electric outlet?
Metal is a conductor and the electricity will easily flow through it.
What will happen if a paper clip made of metal is placed in an electric circuit?
Metal is an excellent conductor of electricity. So a metal paper clip placed in an electric circuit will conduct whatever current may be in that circuit. If the current is very large, the paperclip may get hot.
Can lead coated with gold particles become a conductor of electricity?
The metal lead is already a conductor: it is used on battery connections in automobiles. However, a coating of gold would make it a better conductor of electric current.
What is the magnet formed by the flow of electric current?
When electric current flows, a magnetic field is formed via induction. When copper wire, or another conductor is wrapped around a metal core, it forms an electromagnet.
Explain solidification of molten metal in Electrical discharge machining process?
The electric current spalls metal into the machining liquid, and the metal cools to form metal "dust" that is carried away by the liquid.
