Under normal conditions, the movement of electrons in metals is
a. random
b. directional

Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Electrons in metals have random motion and they tend to move between the positive ions with no uniform direction of motion. These free electrons are delocalized and hence at normal temperature they move randomly.

Due to this random motion of electrons there will be establishment of a steady state.

Thus, we can conclude that under normal conditions, the movement of electrons in metals is random.
