Metals are relatively good conductor of heat, because the non-localized electrons are free to transport thermal energy.
Each material has an electrical conductivity. It determines the value of the electrical current when an electric potential is applied.

∙ 9y agoMetals are in metallic bonds with delocalized electrons that are free moving, making metals conductors of electricity.
Atoms of metals can move and vibrate due to the above and can conduct heat very well.

What are three things metals can do?
conduct electricity, conduct heat, melt
What metals insulate electricity?
Metals actually conduct electricity, not insulate them. Some metals conduct better than others, but the point is that metals don't insulate heat or electricity at all.Glucose rubber cold glass and water
Does Caesium conduct heat?
Yes. Caesium is a metal, all metals conduct heat and electricity quite well.
Why are certain metals like copper silver and gold good conductors of electricity?
Most of the metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Metals have large pool of electrons which when given even slightest amount of energy, can be localized and hence conduct electricity. It is the surface electrons on metals that perform the motion and therefore give them ability to conduct heat and electricity.
What of the element below is a shiny element that conduct electricity and heat?
metals
What are the two things metal can conduct?
All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.
What is the ability to conduct heat electricity or sound?
The ability to conduct heat or electricity is acutally called conductivity.
Is conductors of heat and conductors of electricity the same thing?
Sometimes. Metals will conduct both heat and electricity. Glass will conduct heat but not electricity.
How would you describe the ability of most metalloids to conduct heat and electricity?
better than metals but not as good as nonmetals
What materials allow heat to pass through and electricity?
metals have the ability to pass and conduct electricity and heat through them....
Do metals conduct heat and electricity?
YES !
Are nonmetals nonconductors?
Most non-metals are in fact considered to be non-conductors. Some non-metals however do have the ability to conduct heat and electricity.
Why do materials that conduct heat also conduct electricity?
copper, metals...
What are three things metals can do?

Does argon gas conduct electricity and heat?
gases do not conduct heat or electricity well. metals conduct both well. but argon is a conductor
Elemets that conduct heat and electricity well?
Metals, although some conduct heat & electricity better than others.
