Question

metals are good conductors of heat and electricity true or false

Answer 1

Metals are good conductor of heat and electricity - its TRUE .

Answer 2

Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.

• This is because the electrons present in the metals can move around easily.
• In a metal body, the electrons are easily delocalized.
• That is, they form metallic bonds.
• So, the delocalized electrons can transfer thermal energy.
• And we already know that electricity is the flow of electrons, the delocalized electrons make the flow of energy easy.
• Amongst all the metals thus found, Silver is said to be the best conductor of electricity and heat.
• And metals like stainless steel, carbonized steel, and pure lead are the worst conductors of electricity in the category of metals.
