Question

Metals are _____ conductors of heat and ____________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Answer 2

Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Explanation:

• Metals are transparent, shiny components that act as perceptible conductors of heat and electricity.
• The majority of metals are malleable and ductile, and they are generally denser than the other constituent substances.
• When small masses (stresses) are applied to metals, they deform and then return to their original shape once the load is removed.
• Bending a sheet of steel, for example, is an example of where the bonds are bent.
• This is known as elastic deformation, and it includes the transient stretching or bending of atom-to-atom connections.
• When greater forces are applied, permanent (plastic) deformation occurs.
