Question

19. Why are metals in general good conductors? What are the charge carriers in a metal when current flow in it​

Answer 1

Answer:

Metals have loosely bound outer electrons that is they have charge carriers which can move easily (current) when a potential difference is applied. Therefore, these loosely bound outer electrons make metals good conductors.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Metals placed on the left side of the periodic table tend to loose valance electrons to for stable nearest Inert gas configuration.

these free electrons are generated/released if current passes thru the metal.

these Electrons are the charge carriers
