Question

hey guys ! give reasons for the following (a). generally metals are not found in free state (b). Metals are good conductor of heat.​

Answer 1

A)Metal are very reactive and unstable. In surroundings, they react with other elements to form compounds to attain stability. Hence they do not occur in free state.

B) Metals are good conductors of heat. There are two reasons for this: the close packing of the metal ions in the lattice. the delocalised electrons can carry kinetic energy through the lattice
