All of them. But some are better at it than others. Silver, copper and gold are really good at it, but something like, say, cast iron isn't as good. And stainless steel isn't as good as cast iron. There is a range of thermal conductivities among metals, and a link is provided to get you started comparing them.

The propagation of a heat signal through a substance is as a wave in which the wave detail expands the distance between molecules.

This spread of molecules continues out in the material in the standard radial mode.

Heat is conducted in a metal because the atoms are free to move, this allows the heat and electricity to be transferred throughout the electrons suffciently.

When the electrons carry heat, they start to move because they have lots of thermal energy (this is also why metal expands when it is heated) and therefore the electrons carrying the thermal or kinetic energy move to the area that isn't hot, so where it isn't being heated, and that is how it is conducted.

Yes, metals are good conductors of heat ... some are better than others.

Two most commonly utilized are copper and aluminum. (see cooking pots on sale).

Heat transfer by way of conduction is more efficient in materials where atomic elements are densely packed. The heavier the metal, the more tightly packed the atoms.

What is having the ability to conduct electricity or heat?

Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.The metal conduct electricity because they have unbound electrons (or valence electrons) that can conduct the electricity as the electrons can move. Similarly, they conduct heat because the electrons are free to vibrate which causes neighbouring electrons to vibrate and so on along the entire piece of metal. These vibrations cause the metal to conduct the heat.Graphite, a type of carbon, is also a good conductor of electricity. Graphite is soot.


Does metal conduct heat readily?

Metal does indeed conduct heat readily. Metal also conducts electricity. The conductive properties of metal are due to the free electrons in metal atoms that allow for mobile charge.
