AI Generated Solution

To answer the question "What are the charge carriers in metals?", we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of charge carriers Charge carriers are particles that carry electric charge and are responsible for the conduction of electricity in a material. In the context of metals, we need to identify which particles serve this role. ### Step 2: Identify the type of material Metals are known as conductors of electricity. This means they allow electric current to flow through them easily. ...
