 Solution

Let $z_c$ be the number of conduction electrons per atom. Then $n=z_c{n}_a$ and the Drude relations give $\sigma =ne\mu =n{e}^2\tau /m_e$. ConsequentlyUnder an explicit one-electron-per-atom assumption, $\mu =5.24\times 10^{-3}{\mathrm{m}}^2{\mathrm{V}}^{-1}{\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ and $\tau =2.98\times 10^{-14}\mathrm{s}$. The carrier count is not specified: monatomic does not by itself imply monovalent, so the boxed dependence on $z_c$ is the general result supported by the data. The collision time here is the transport relaxation time inferred within the free-electron model, not a measurement of every microscopic scattering event.
