When you pass heat which metal will produce electricity?
No single piece of metal will produce electricity when heated. You will need two different metals, mechanically touching. When the join between the metals is heated, it will produce electricity, dependant on the metals used. This is known as a 'thermocouple'.
Why do you need two metals to conduct electricity?
You need different atoms...?
Are alloys conductors of heat and electricity?
yes, all alloys do conduct electricity due to the conductivity of their metals.
How can electricity be made by using two different metals?
Electricity i.e. a battery, can be made by taking two different metals (maybe that's where your confusion came in) - for example, copper and zinc, and submerging them into a an acid solution (like vinegar). Or you can take those same to metals and stick them into a lemon. If you put a volt meter on the two different metals you will measure a small, but noticeable, current. But to answer your queston, you will not make electricity by rubbing two pieces of metal together.
What are elements that are usually good conductors of heat and electricity and are also typically malleable and ductile?
copper is one of them:! Also silver. These are the two best conductors
What are two good conductors?
Metals are good conductors of electricity, two of the best conductors are silver and copper.
Which two metals the best for carrying electricity?

Is astatine a good conductor of electricity?
Astatine is not a good conductor of electricity. This is because it is a non-metal. All non-metals do not conduct electricity, and all metals do. The two exceptions are carbon and silicon, which are non-metals, but conduct electricity well.
Are alloys conductors of heat and electricity?
yes, all alloys do conduct electricity due to the conductivity of their metals.

Name two metals that do not conduct electricity?
That would be impossible to do because all metals conduct electricity. It is one of the fundamental properties that metals possess.
What are elements that are usually good conductors of heat and electricity and are also typically malleable and ductile?
copper is one of them:! Also silver. These are the two best conductors
Why metal is the best conductor of heat and electricity?
You have configuration of the elements. There can be eight electrons in the outermost orbit of the element. The metals have one, two or three electrons in the outermost orbit. So they want to give away those extra electrons. These are free electrons. These free electrons make the metals good conductors of heat and electricity.
What are two things metals are good at conducting?
Depending on the metal, heat and electricity are two main things that metal are good at conducting.
