Explanation:
It's a good conductor because it's molecules are arranged in a lattice. In simple words they are highly organized with each one at a specific distance from the other. But the valence electrons of these atoms are free to move around the metal. So when you heat a tungsten the electrons absorb that heat energy and start moving faster. These electrons move randomly so when they move they transfer energy making them a good conductor.
Terms
Lattice- the form of molecular arrangement that metals get into.
Valence Electron- are electrons that are farthest from the nucleus of the atom and easiest to remove.
