Why do metallic compounds conduct electricity ?
metallic compounds conduct electricity as they all share the property of having a 'sea of electrons' which means that they have free floating electrons surrounding the compound. This sea of electrons is due to an overlap in the external orbitals/energy levels, which allows electrons to move from one atom to the next.
