When an electron moves in a conductor, it does not have a free path. It is constantly deflected by the atoms in the conductor. Moreover they are not stationary. They vibrate due to thermal energy imparted upon them. Hence these atoms (or immobile positive ions) resist the movement of the electron. This is called electrical resistance.

At a particular (low) temperature, this vibration ceases and electrons are given a free path. This is called superconductivity.
