Why are metals good conductors of electricity?
Metals form metallic bonds, where unlike in covalent or ionic bonding, electrons are delocalised. This means the electrons can move freely throughout the metallic structure. Electricity is the flow of electrons, and because electrons in metals are delocalised, they can flow through the structure and conduct electricity.
