    Why are metals good conductors of electricity?

    A)  In metals/outer electrons are strongly bound to the atom.

    B)                         In metals, outer electrons are loosely bound to the atom.

    C)                         In metals, inner electrons are loosely bound to the atom.

    D)                         In metals, protons can detach from the nucleus and conduct electricity.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In metals, the attractive force on outermost electrons towards nucleus is feeble due to which they become free from atom when they get a little energy from outside. Such electrons are free to move anywhere inside the metal, but they are not free to move outside the metal.
