>electrons constantly scatter off the nuclei every which way, so it cancels out and doesn't create a net current no, not because it's every which way. it doesn't create net current because if, randomly, net charge moves in some direction, the resultant electric field will put pressure on the random movement to bring it back to equilibrium, 0.
