Metals conduct electricity because they have “free electrons.” Unlike most other forms of matter, metallic bonding is unique because the electrons are not bound to a particular atom. This allows the delocalized electrons to flow in response to a potential difference.
And since metals don't tightly hold on to electrons during metallic bonding, they are easily replaced. In metallic bonding, electrons are delocalized and move freely among nuclei. When a force is exerted n the metal, the nuclei shift, but the bonds do not break, giving metals their characteristic malleability.
