Copper does not conduct well because of its shininess, but because a large fraction of the electrons in copper are in delocalized orbitals and therefore can move rapidly from one side of a copper object to another under the influence of an electric field.

∙ 13y agono it conducts heat because when you put one end of the metal in a fire it heats up the atoms in that part of the metal rod, then the heated up atoms heat up the other atoms and on and on until the whole metal rod is hot (it also cools down the same way)
