If electric current is flow of electron from high electric potential to low electric potential then how atom of a conductor does not disintegrate if electron is lost from atom?
Offline
conductors never disintegrate during conduction .for a metal there is a valance electron which is a bit free from nuclear attraction and can move from atom to atom with ease and is responsible for conduction.during conduction the moment an atom losses an electron it gains another from the surrounding(current is full of electrons).
please read a lot on atomic structure and electricity

Electric current flow in opposite direction of electron flow. Electron flow from low electric potential to high electric potential. That's my correction for your question. For answer, I'm absolutely agree with Bharat Chandra.
