Metals are made up of atoms which are joined together tightly in a the solid state. Metals are having free electrons around atoms which are the ones that carry the heat energy or electrical energy for one end to the other.

How do solid nonmetals differ from solid metals?
Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat. Also, they have a "metallic lustre", i.e., their surface shines.
What solid that is a good conductor can be made into ornaments?
Metals are good conductors of electricity and are sometimes made into ornaments.
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
What is an explanation of the characteristic's of metals?
Some properties of metals are: they are good heat conductors, they have a high melting point, they react with oxygen to make oxides, all metals, but mercury, are solid at room temperatures, they are positive when they form ions, they have a high density.Metals are usually shiny, malleable, and hard. They also are good conductors of electricity.
What metals have thermal conductivity?
ALL metals are pretty good conductors of heat. Some, like gold, are very good conductors of heat.
How do solid nonmetals differ from solid metals?
Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat. Also, they have a "metallic lustre", i.e., their surface shines.
What solid that is a good conductor can be made into ornaments?
Metals are good conductors of electricity and are sometimes made into ornaments.
How are solid nonmetals different from metals?
Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat; nonmetals usually aren't. Also, metals tend to have a shiny surface.
Is a metal and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
Metals are good conductors of electicity?
the majoriy of metals are good conductors such as cooper and iron other metals such as gold are not
Are metals conductors or insulators?
In general, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
What are metals good for?
metals are good conductors of electricity and heat!
What are the all metals?
metals are good conductors of electricity
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
What solids are good conductors?
All metals are solids and good conductors apart from Mercury which is a liquid but is a good conductor.
Are metals good or bad conductors?
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.
Do metals insulate heat?
No. Metals are good conductors of heat.
