Yes.Heat energy and electrons travel very quickly through metals, allowing the metal to absorb all the heat or cold coming from an object extremely quickly. Proof of this is the fact that an ice cube will melt faster on a sheet of metal than on cardboard.

∙ 10y agoYes, they are great conductors of thermal energy.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoyes metals are good heat conductors bc silver,gold,and copper are all metals and very good heat conductors.
hope this helps at least a little:)

∙ 9y agoSome metals, such as Mercury and lead, are very poor conductors of electricity. Certain alloys also do not conduct very efficiently.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agono,they are not. They are good but not as the alkali and alkaline earth metals.

What metals have thermal conductivity?
ALL metals are pretty good conductors of heat. Some, like gold, are very good conductors of heat.
What are the characteristic properties of metals?
Metals are generally very good conductors of heat and electricity, hard, shiny, malleable, ductile, and solid at room temperature. Some are magnetic.
Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat?
Yes. Think of metals as a sea of electrons where electrons can move freely. To get electricity, you need to have a current, which is the movement of electrons.
What are some physical properties of metalloids?
There are a number of physical properties that can be present in meted metals. These metals are often very dull in appearance for example.
What do all conductors of electricity have in common?
The best conductors of electricity have that they are all metals in common.
Are all elements good electrical conductors?
No. Non-metals are very poor conductors, and with the exception of Neon, so are the gaseous elements.
What is a good conductor of heat called?
Metals are good conductors of heat. Plastics and wood are very poor.
What metals have thermal conductivity?
ALL metals are pretty good conductors of heat. Some, like gold, are very good conductors of heat.
Are non-metals good conductors of electricity?
No, they are not good conductors of electricity. Graphite is an exception as despite being a non-metal it conducts electricity. Only metals are good conductors of heat as well as electricity.
Are metals poor conductors of electricity?
No, metals are good conductors of electricity due to the presence of free-flowing electrons in their atomic structure. These electrons are able to carry electrical charge through the metal efficiently.
What do metals tend to do?
they tend to be very good conductors
Is insulation a property of metal?
No. metals are good conductors of both heat and electricity. Insulation is a property of non metals.
Are metals good or bad conductors?
using the energy band model, i would rank metals as good conductors. The energy gap in metals is negligible, that is the valence band and the conduction band overlap. Thus it is very easy for electrons in the valence band to move to the conduction band thereby conducting currents. Hence metals are good conductors.
What are the characteristic properties of metals?
Metals are generally very good conductors of heat and electricity, hard, shiny, malleable, ductile, and solid at room temperature. Some are magnetic.
Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat?
Yes. Think of metals as a sea of electrons where electrons can move freely. To get electricity, you need to have a current, which is the movement of electrons.
State the physical properties of metals?
Pure metals have high density and very high melting and boiling points. In addition, these metals are excellent conductors of heat and electricity.
What characteristic of copper and aluminum causes them to be good conductors?
Both are metals, and metals are great conductors, thats why copper and aluminum are very good conductors causing to that they are made and are metals. Just did my homework on this from another website this is 100% correct! Cya people, Christopher :)
