As my title states, I want to understand why electrons in the conduction band can move around so easily in the material. Is it due to the presence of many closely spaced (blurred out) energy levels which make it easy for the electrons to move around? Or are the electrons undergoing some kind of high probability tunneling? I know from trying to Google search the subject that the electrons become delocalized. Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure what that means. Any help is appreciated.
P.S. I have an introductory knowledge of QM, in addition to all the physics that comes before that
