When a metallic element bonds with other metals, their outer electrons are are shared between all the atoms in the metallic lattice. They form a common 'sea' of delocalised electrons attached to no single atom. Because the electrons are free to move, they can carry an electrical current.
that is why metals are better conductors
What else can I help you with?
Is a metal and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are generally good conductors of electricity, as they have free-moving electrons that can carry electric current. Nonmetals, on the other hand, are poor conductors of electricity, as they lack free-moving electrons to conduct electricity effectively.
Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
No, nonmetals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity. This is because they do not have freely moving electrons that can carry the heat or electric charge effectively. Metals, on the other hand, are good conductors due to the presence of delocalized electrons.
All metals are conductors?
by defining all metals would be wrong as synthetic metals would change the properties of the metal. in terms of natural metals or alloys, yes they are all conductors as their arrangements allow them to have delocalised electrons to carry electricity
What are the three categories of elements?
Metals, non-metals and transition metals.
What statement about metals true?

What are the all metals?

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.
Metals are conductors of heat and electricity?
Yes, but some metals are better conductors than others.
Are all conductors of heat shiny?
conductors are generally are made of metals and naturally metals are of shiny and so u can tell that all conductors of heat shiny
