What is Free Electron Models of Conductivity about?

1) Electrons in metals can be modeled as particles in a 3D infinite potential well, with their quantum states defined by four quantum numbers (n1, n2, n3, ms). 2) Due to the Pauli exclusion principle, electrons cannot all occupy the lowest energy state. For 34 electrons, the ground state configuration has electrons filling the (n1, n2, n3) energy levels up to (3,2,2). 3) Higher energy levels have a degeneracy that allows multiple electrons to occupy them, accounting for all 34 electrons in the system.
