Question

Metals are good conductors of electric current because

electric fields are stronger in metals than in nonmetallic materials.

metallic atoms are in general less massive than other atoms.

metals have a net negative charge.

metals possess a large number of freely moving conduction electrons.

Explanation / Answer

here,

yes the metals are the good conductors of electric current

because

the meatals posses a large number of freely moving conduction electron

the electrons are free to move in a network of metal atom.

So because of the "Sea of Electrons", these electrons do not belong to just one atom but move freely about the metal's network which makes them great conductors of   electricity.
