-Explanation: ​\\ +Metal atoms are arranged in orderly rows and colums. Inbetween the columns are electrons which are able to move around. When we apply a voltage with a battery, we draw electrons so they move collectivly in one directions. Making electrons hop from one atom to the next, which is the wire we see in power cords and across telephone poles. All metal can conduct electricity,​ but copper is one of the best and very abundant. Copper is easy to bend and stretch, it's too soft to make a blade or sharp electrical part on its own, so bronze or tin is added to give it strength, meaning the copper atoms are unable to wiggle and squish around.
