Solution

Metallic Conductors

  1. In metallic conductors electrons of the outer shell are loosely bound to the nucleus.
  2. They easily get detached from the atom and move freely inside the metal.
  3. Metals have low electronegativity and low Ionisation energy which is tendency to lose electrons.

Therefore, Due to loosely bound electrons in outer shell of Nucleus, Metallic conductors easily loose electrons.
