Good electrical conductors have a strong bond with the valence shell electrons. The more electrons they release the more they will receive. Great conductors have a molecular lattice which reduces impedence of current flow. Super conductors are super examples of great conductors; due to research super's are laboratory made--formed from metal(s) supercooled. Early research required superkooling yo nearly absolute 0.

The electrical property of a conductive material is its resistivity or conductivity. This property determines how much current will flow through the material with an electric field applied. Resistivity is defined as

rho = E/J

where E is the electric field intensity and J is the current density. The resistivity determines the resitance of a wire made of the material according to the formula

R =rho * L/A

where L is the length and A is the cross sectional area. The current in a wire of resistance R is given by

I = V/R (Ohm's law)

where V is the applied voltage.
