Solution

metals are a conductor of electricity because the electrons are free to move in a network of metal atom

when a potential is applied across any 2 ends to a metal, the free electrons go towards the positive terminal and this movement leads to electricity conduction.

non-metals do not have free electrons so they do not conduct electricity.
