Want this question answered?
Alkali metals are good conductors of electricity, though they are not as conductive as transition metals like copper or silver. They are also fairly good thermal conductors.
Metals are generally good conductors because they have many free electrons that are able to efficiently transfer thermal energy.
ALL metals are pretty good conductors of heat. Some, like gold, are very good conductors of heat.
Metals are good thermal conductors which is good for cooking.
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.
Materials that transfer thermal energy well are called good themal conductors. The metals are generally good conductors of heat (thermal energy).
These are good conductors-most metals are good conductors.

Metals are good heat conductors. The electrons are also exicted by thermal energy and that thermal energy rapidly moves to other atoms.

Metals are conductors, not insulators. Both electrical and thermal conductors.

No. metals are good conductors of both heat and electricity. Insulation is a property of non metals.
Generally yes.
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.
