Answer:
Electron are extremely extremely small.
Metals are hard because of the intermolecular force of attraction between the atoms not the electrons.
Metal have free electrons means the electron can move out from the atoms to take part in the conduction of electricity.
Hope you got your doubt cleared :)✌️
Here is your answer
When electricity flows, the electrons are considered "free" only because there are more electrons than there should be, and because the transition metals, such as iron, copper, lead, zinc, aluminum, gold etc. are willing to transiently accept and give up electrons from the d-orbitals of their valence shell.
I hope it helps you
