In metals, electrons are freely held because they form metallic bonds with each other. In a metallic bond, instead of a bond created by sharing electrons just between two atoms, electrons are shared between many atoms of the element of a metal. This creates a sea of electrons that makes it very easy for energy in the form electricity to move through the metal.
In most elements, atoms hold tightly to their atoms but in most metals, atoms hold their electrons rather loosely.
