Step 1
1 of 2The thermal energy will cause the electrons in the metals to occupy orbitals above their Fermi level (the highest filled level at 0K), so the electrons will move from the occupied levels towards the higher energy orbitals.
The electrical conductivity results from the movement of metal`s electrons toward the positive side and the positive side (holes) move toward the negative side.
