### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Conductors**: - Conductors are materials that allow electricity to flow through them easily. They do this by providing free-moving charged particles. 2. **Role of Electrons in Metals**: - In metals, the outermost electrons (valence electrons) are not tightly bound to the nucleus. This means they can move freely within the metal structure. ...
