Explain the conduction of electricity in metals.
(N/A) Metals conduct electricity through the movement of electrons. In metals,atomic orbitals overlap to form molecular orbitals that are so close in energy that they form a band.
If this band is partially filled or overlaps with a higher energy unoccupied conduction band,electrons can flow easily under an applied electric field,resulting in electrical conductivity.
Metals conduct electricity in both solid and molten states.
