    False

    Electric conductivity in metals is the result of the motion of charged particles called electrons. Atoms of metallic elements are distinguished by the availability of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer shell of an atom and free to move around.

    These free electrons are free to move in the lattice of metal and result in electric current when a voltage is applied.
