metal   have   free electrons  in  their   outer  shell  which  make  them  generally  good  conductors  of  electricity. Example  is  the  copper  which   is  used  for  electrical  wiring   since  is  a good  conductor  of  electricity.  copper  with   electronic configuration  of  (Ar)4s2 has  two  free  electrons  in  their  outer  most shell which  allow  it  to  conduct  electricity.
