What is the speed of conducting electrons when there is a potential
difference across a metal conductor?

That depends on the potential difference, the conductivity, and the
dimensions.
One ampere is one coulomb per second, and the charge on an electron is
about 1.6e-19 C; and in a metal there is, *approximately*, one
conduction electron per atom; and about 6e23 atoms make up the atomic
weight in grams. You can work it our from there.
