This is news to me.  While there are ionic charges, electrons do not move
from one orbital position of one atom to another atom, as an electron cloud
in a normal conducting piece of metal.

Therefore there would be no electron flow.  True an occasional cosmic
ray or EMF might give an electron the energy to jump quantumly to another
atom.
These events would be rare.

I understand why one might think electrons flow because of wave/particle
nature of
the action potential, but this would not be true.
