Generally electrons, in metal. Specifically loosely-bound electrons from the outer orbital. Or holes, in p-type semiconductor. Or ions, in conducting liquid like battery acid. Or electrons, in a cathode-ray-tube.but i conclude it would be electrons.

Q-which charges are more free to move in a conductor.
A-electrons
The electrons of an atom can note freely around an atom.
Charges leave the dry cell. Charges move through the switch. Charges move from the switch to the light. Charges move through the light bulb. Charges move through the wire leading back to the dry cell.
Yes due to the fact it is a metal and metals have delocalised (free) electrons which allow the electrons to move around the metal conducting heat and electricity easier than non metals
Water contains ions and free electrons that can move and carry electric current, while air is composed mostly of molecules that do not contain free charges. This allows water to conduct electricity, while air does not conduct electricity well due to its lack of free charges.
Valence electrons are responsible for the movement of electrical charges in conductors. Electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom are free to move around and conduct electricity. Electrons can be stored in batteries as part of chemical reactions involving redox processes.
The difference in electric potential between two points is what causes charges to move. When there is a potential difference, charges will flow from the higher potential to the lower potential, generating an electric current. This movement of charges is essential for the functioning of electrical circuits.
Because in a conductor charges are free to move and since like charges repel each other they move as far as they can from each other, which is the surface.
The electrons of an atom can note freely around an atom.
A potential difference, or voltage, is necessary for a sustained flow of electric charge through a conducting medium. This potential difference creates an electric field that pushes the charges through the conductor. Without a potential difference, the charges will not move and no current will flow.
Free electrons move toward positive charges
A path through which electric charges travel is called a circuit. This can be a closed loop of conductive material that allows for the flow of electricity. Circuits provide a route for charges to move from the energy source (e.g. battery) through a load (e.g. light bulb) and back to the source.
It means that they are charges (that usually refers to electrical charges), and that they don't move (or don't move significantly).
An insulator is a material in which charges cannot easily move due to the lack of free electrons. Examples of insulators include rubber, glass, and plastic. Insulators are used to prevent electric current from flowing through them, making them good materials for electrical insulation.
Any material has electrical charges. A conductor will usually not have more or less charges than a non-conductor. The relevant charges - often electrons - are simply relatively free to move around.
Metals are conducting in nature because they have plenty of free electrons that can move freely throughout the material. These delocalized electrons can carry electric current due to their ability to flow easily in response to an electric field.
closed circuits. hope this helps :D
electrons. Electrons are the only charges free to move in a metal.
