It depends.
Electricity passes through atoms in the metal and the closer together they are the better the metal is as a conductor. In copper the atoms are closer together than they are in any other metal.
solids because the atoms are closer together
When atoms are drawn together by attractive forces, their potential energy decreases. This decrease in potential energy is a result of the atoms moving closer together against the attractive forces between them.
Atoms move closer together when attractive forces, such as van der Waals forces or hydrogen bonding, are stronger than the repulsive forces between them. This can occur, for example, when molecules are cooled down or when pressure is applied to a substance.
I believe that is because in a liquid or solid, the atoms or molecules are closer together.
I believe it has to do with the fact that the atoms are closer together. The forces between the atoms probably also affect the speed of sound.
Bonds between atoms stay together due to the attraction created by sharing or transferring of electrons. This attraction is due to electrostatic forces, where opposite charges (positive nuclei and negative electrons) attract each other. The stronger the bond, the closer the atoms are bound together.
In liquids, the atoms are closer together compared to gases but farther apart compared to solids. The atoms can move freely past each other in a liquid state, which allows liquids to flow and take the shape of their container.

The force of attraction that holds two atoms together is called a chemical bond. This bond is typically formed by the sharing or transfer of electrons between the atoms, bringing them closer together to form a stable molecule. Examples of chemical bonds include covalent bonds, ionic bonds, and metallic bonds.
When you bend metal, the atoms in the metal are forced to move closer together, which increases their kinetic energy and causes the metal to heat up.
