A metal with a large number of free flowing electrons most likely has good conductivity
Chemical Properties. Metals. Nonmetals. 1  Usually have 1-3 electrons in their outer shell. 2  Lose their valence electrons easily. 3  Form oxides that are basic. 4  Are good reducing agents. 5  Have lower electronegativities. 6  Usually have 4-8 electrons in their outer shell. 7  Gain or share valence electrons easily. 8  Form oxides that are acidic.
