There is not a common specific heat among metals. The specific heat of metals ranges from .12 J / kg K for uranium to 1.83 J / kg K for Beryllium.

What are examples of heat keeping materials?
Newspaper and styrafoam.
What group of metals are the best conductors of heat and electric current?
all metals are good conductors of heat and electric currents
What materials conduct heat and which do not?
Insulators do not conduct heat and are therefore non-metals. Metals do conduct heat, and vey well may i add. But, for the record, you're thinking of electricity. Potatoes conduct heat, and they're not metals. Anyone who has held a lump in their hand will tell you that playdough conducts heat, in fact, rather a lot of other materials conduct heat and water also conduct heat
What materials allow heat to pass through and electricity?
metals have the ability to pass and conduct electricity and heat through them....
What properties do all nonmetals have in common?
Non-metals generally are not good conductors of heat or electricity, have a dull surface, are brittle to the touch, and are not easily molded into shapes.
Many common metals have a specific heat near?
closer to 0 than 1
Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
Why are metals good conducted of heats?
If you haven't learned in your chemistry class about specific heat you will and metal has a very low specific heat. Water has a specific heat of is about 4.18 Joules/g, but most metals are underneath 1 making them be more susceptible to heat changes.
What has higher specific heat water or lead?
Water has much higher specific heat than lead. All metals have fairly low specific heat values.
How many different metals are conductors?
All metals are conductors of electricity and heat.
Why does the temperature of the metal fall from its maximum after a while in a specific heat capacity of metals experiment?
because it can
Why is it that wood feels less hot than metal?
Because it is less dense. The ability of a material to absorb or retain heat is governed by its molecular density, and is known as "specific heat". Wood, which is cellulose, has a much lower density than metals, and will both heat more slowly and cool more quickly in air. Lighter metals, such as aluminum, similarly display a substantially lower ability to retain heat than denser metals such as iron. When cooling materials, light metals or porous wood can be effectively cooled by the air (a low specific heat), while other denser substances are more effectively cooled by water (higher specific heat, and can absorb heat by evaporating).
Which metal has the lowest specific heat capacity?
Gold has the lowest specific heat capacity.
What M is a type of material that lets heat flow through it?
metal
Do metals have a low specific heat?
Yes, metallic lithium experiences negative specific heat as it is heated from cryogenic temperatures. This results in a crystalline state change. This is known as the heat of reversion. Answer 2 Are you sure you're right here? Are you referring to latent heat?
Does water have a relatively low specifc heat?
No, water's specific heat capacity is quite high actually, compared to metals which are very low. Water's specific heat is 4.18 Jewels Per Grams X Degrees Celsius where a metal such as Iron is only 0.45. Water is used in many different applications to store heat because of this
Do metals insulate heat?
No. Metals are good conductors of heat.
