A chemical reaction can be represented by

A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms which turn one or more compounds into new compounds. Equations and models may describe all of the chemical reactions. ... If atoms detach from each other and recombine into various types of atoms, we conclude that there has been a chemical reaction.

where are the choice options?

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
