Hello!

Just briefly, Metals are good conductors of electricity because of electrons moving freely in metals and metals like to give up electrons making them a great conductor of electricity.

Hope this helps! Thank you!!

The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, all while receiving and losing electrons, allowing metals to conduct electricity. Example: copper is a great conductor of electric current.
