What do uh mean by Metals are good conductors of heat?
Answers
Hola!!
●Metals have electrons which can be easily lost without using too much of energy. This makes them a good conductor of heat because heat as well as electricity can pass or conduct through it without any such hindrance.
Example:- Sodium

✔✔Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity because of their lattice structure and delocalized electrons.
✔✔The majority of materials that conduct heat and electricity are metals, for the simple reason that metals contain a glut of free electrons.
✔✔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.
✔✔silver is the best conductor of both heat and electricity among metals with a thermal conduction value of about 430 W/(mK). Gold and copper both come respectably close to silver, and with Copper being significantly less costly it is often chosen over silver in many applications.
