That question cannot be answered because it is dependent on two things you are not informed about. What the solid is and how big the solid is.
If the solid is styrofoam or a brick there are negligible free moving electrons. If it is gold or copper there are large numbers. By free you mean conduction band electrons that are mobile.

It depends on the composition of the solid. Metals always have more free moving electrons.

no material is solid. the moving electrons that make you see the material is solid.

All electrons are moving - what do you mean by free?
Really it depends on how you define it, because they can all jump shells and exchange between neighbours.
