Metallic can be defined as a sea of electrons moving freely throughout the metallic crystal structure of the metal.

Metals are characterized by low electro negativity. This low electro negativity means that the metallic atoms do not have a strong attraction for the valance electrons of the element. Because the electrons are not held tightly by the nuclei of the atoms the electrons are free to move.

Electricity is caused by the movement of electrons. In metals the electrons are able to move causing electricity.

Does solid sodium chloride, a compound made of charged particles, conduct electricity? Why or why not?

Solid sodium chloride is indeed composed of charged particles, but they are all locked into a lattice structure, and therefore do not have freedom to move around. When dissolved in...

Why do metals conduct electricity?

Metals conduct electricity well because they have a very low resistance that decreases the difficulty that there is for the current to pass through them (around 0.0001 ohms). They also...

Why do ionic bonds conduct electricity?

Ionic substances are made up of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions, held in a 3D lattice by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the ions. For example, let's...
