If a material allows free electrons to move easily from one atom to another then we call that material a conductor. Most metals let their free electrons roam, so most metals are good conductors.

Silver is the best conductor. Copper is almost as good at conducting as silver, and it costs a lot less, so copper is the most popular material used in electrical pathways, or circuits.

Good conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow through them easily due to the abundance of free electrons. Common examples include metals such as copper and aluminum, which have low resistance to the flow of electricity. Conductors are essential in electrical systems to efficiently transmit power.

Copper wire is a good conductor of electricity, while plastic is a good insulator (non conductor).
