A fundamental characteristic of those quantum properties — which include polarization and orbital angular momentum — is that they can exist in multiple states at the same time.

The alignment of unpaired electrons in multiple orbitals gives simple iron its strong magnetic and metal properties, so it's easy to see why iron compounds would be good conductors.
