They have a large number of free electrons. Having lots of free electrons make it easier to move the electrons around this creates a good electric current. They best conductors (silver, copper, gold and aluminum ). Cost, weight and ease of handling also make it a more popular material.

Is conductivity an extensive property?
Typically, yes. The best conductors are precious metals like Au, Ag, and Cu.
What kind of elements are good conductors of heat and electricity?
metals are the best conductor of heat and electricity. because the metals contains free electrons. the best conductor is silver (Ag). Metals like silver, copper & aluminium are good conductor of eleectricity as well as of heat.
The difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?
A good insulator means a bad conductor. It is the opposite of good conductor.
Is gold a good conductor or a good insulator?
Gold is a good conductor of electricity.
Is ceramic a bad conductor of heat?
Why is glass a good conductor of heat and ceramic is not a good conductor of heat?
Why is copper a good conductor?
Copper is a good conductor to to it's mixed-valence Cu(II)/Cu(III) oxides which gives it zero electrical resistance.

small amount of cu is added to ni conductor what happends?
What chemical bond is Ag-Cu?
This is a metallic bond.
Cu and AgCl equals Ag plus CuCl2?
cu(II) + 2agcl --> 2ag+cucl2
