In this episode, we talk about metals as conductors.

Metals are proficient at conducting both heat and electricity due to the presence of delocalised electrons.

These freely moving electrons within the metal's structure can carry an electrical charge from a negative to a positive terminal, explaining their electrical conductivity.

Similarly, these same mobile electrons facilitate the transfer of heat energy throughout the metallic lattice, accounting for their thermal conductivity.

The presence of these "sea" of delocalised electrons is the fundamental reason behind the excellent conductive properties observed in metals.
