- As metals contain free electrons, it transfers the energy given in the form of heat rapidly but in non-metals, it takes time to heat. Gold is metal so it is a good conductor of heat and mercury, lead, alloys are non-metals so they are poor conductors of heat.
- Silver also has the highest thermal conductivity of any element and the highest light reflectance. Silver is the best conductor because its electrons are freer to move than those of the other elements, thereby making it more suitable for the conduction of electricity and heat than any other element.
- Metals are particularly good conductors of heat because their particles are very closely packed so the vibrations are passed on very quickly. ... These drift slowly through the structure, giving metals their strength and other properties. As the metal is heated, the free electrons closest to the heat source are heated.
