Question

Metals conduct electricity because they contain free electrons

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Metals may be defined as the elements (except Hydrogen) having a tendency to form cations (positive ions) as a result of losing electrons.
• Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
• Due to the presence of free electrons, metals are able to conduct electricity.
• Hence, the given statement “Metals conduct electricity because they contain free electrons” is true.
