The electrons in a conductor will support the movement of electric current. A conductor is defined as a material with a number of electrons in its makeup that are actually in what is called the conduction band. The conduction band is an energy level where electrons must be to permit conduction in a material. If the minimum energy in the conduction band in a material is such that a lot of electrons in that material are already at or above that level, then these electrons will be available to support current flow. Remember that electron current flow is moving electrons, and it is not about sending an electron into a conductor, like a wire, at one end and getting that same electron out at the other. It is about sending a bunch of them in at one end, and all the electrons already in the conductor move over and a bunch come out the other end. The electrons already in the conduction band within the conductor support current flow in this way.
What else can I help you with?
Do metals conduct heat and electricity?
YES !
Do metals conduct electricity well?
Yes
Does only metals conduct electricity true or false?
False. Metals are good conductors of electricity, but there are other materials such as graphite, saltwater, and some types of solutions that can also conduct electricity.
Do Metals conduct thermal energy or electricity?
Yes ,they are conduct both of them.
Why do metals not conduct electricity as well when they are hot?
poo
What are the characteristics of the lanthanides?

Which metals do not conduct electricity?
all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others
Which can conduct electricity metals or non-metals?
Metals can conduct electricity because they have free electrons that can move easily between atoms, allowing electricity to flow. Non-metals, on the other hand, generally do not conduct electricity well because they do not have free electrons available for conduction.
Will metals conduct electricity in liquid form?
Yes, metals will conduct electricity in liquid form because of the free electrons.
What happens to the electrons of metals?
The electrons of metals are delocalized, meaning they are free to move throughout the solid structure. This is what allows metals to conduct electricity and heat efficiently.
What characteristic of a metal allows it to conduct electricity?
The physical properties of different metals make them useful for different purposes in metals can move through the metal, allowing metals to conduct electricity.
What are three things metals can do?
Metals can conduct electricity, are malleable (can be hammered into thin sheets), and have a shiny appearance (luster).
Why do metals conduct electricity?
Metals conduct electricity because they have free-moving electrons that can carry electric current through the material.
What do metals do more easier then non metals?
conduct electricity
Which metals conduct electricity when in solid?
Zinc and other metals
