Metals behave in a rather unique way as far as their electrons are concerned.
The electrons in metals are de-localised, which in effect means they are not bound to a particular atom, like a "sea of electrons".
This property makes them good conductors of electricity because charged electrons can easily travel from one end of the metal to the other whilst maintaining that charge.
