Yes.
There is a property called 'specific heat capacity'. This is the amount of energy required to increase temperature of the substance by 1K. As you increase atomic weight, the heat capacity of the metal decreases. That means it requires less energy to heat up and so can heat up quicker. And this trend is not perfect, but still very pronounced.
Here is a list of heat capacities of metals.
If you were to rank these metals by atomic number, you would see a noticable trend.

How are heavier metals formed?
The heaviest of all elements are formed by bombardment of two ions into each other ( eg Zinc and Lead) which then forms a highly unstable heavy element that very rapidly decays into smaller elements.
Which object forms the contraction of a large sphere of gases causing the nuclear fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements?
A star is the object that forms from the contraction of a large sphere of gases, leading to nuclear fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements. This process releases energy in the form of light and heat.
What is differentiation when discussing planetary formation?
The 'planet' undergoes intense bombardment and radioactive activity.The rock begins to heat and melt.The heavier metals heat and sink towards the center forcing the lighter rocks to float towards the surface.The planet cools and the rock layers solidify
Why non metals don't conduct heat?
Most non-metals have covalent structures. These structures do not allow heat energy to travel from one point to another. In metals the heat energy quickly travels from one point to another due to vibration of the free electrons in the electronic cloud surrounding the metal ions. In non-metals, the electrons are bond inside the atom so cannot help in transfer of heat energy.
What two material become hot easily?
Metals and glass are two materials that tend to become hot easily when exposed to heat. Metals conduct heat efficiently due to their high thermal conductivity, while glass is known for its poor thermal insulation properties, causing it to heat up quickly when exposed to heat sources.
Why are metals good conductors oh heat?
the free-moving electrons transmit heat quickly
What do you call a material that transfers heat quickly?
A material that transfers heat quickly is called a good conductor of heat. Examples include metals like copper and aluminum.
Why metals are cold to touch?
Metals feel cold to the touch because they are efficient conductors of heat. When you touch a metal object, it quickly draws heat away from your skin, making it feel cold. Metals have high thermal conductivity, allowing them to quickly equalize their temperature with the surroundings, which is why they often feel cold.
Why are metals conductors of heat?
Because of their many valence electrons. The free-moving electrons transmit heat quickly.
What gains and loses heat much more quickly than?
There are a great many things that gain and lose heat. Metals for example gain and lose heat much more quickly than gasses.
Does heat make things lighter or heavier?
Heat generally makes things lighter, as it can cause materials to expand and increase in volume. This decrease in density results in the object being lighter for the same volume. However, in some cases where thermal expansion is negligible or if the weight change is due to other factors (such as changes in moisture content), heat might not necessarily make things lighter.
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).
Why metal's are good conductor of heat?
metals are densely packed molecules that transfer heat easily while less dense matter do not transfer heat easily.
Does a conductor of heat cool quickly?
Yes, a conductor of heat tends to cool quickly because it allows heat to flow rapidly from the object to its surroundings. Conductors like metals have high thermal conductivity, which means they can transfer heat efficiently.
How are heavier metals formed?
The heaviest of all elements are formed by bombardment of two ions into each other ( eg Zinc and Lead) which then forms a highly unstable heavy element that very rapidly decays into smaller elements.
Why are most tents light in color?
Because if they were darker then the tents would heat up quickly, if they are lighter then the light would be reflected along with the heat.
Metals are what of thermal energy?
Metals are good conductors of thermal energy, meaning they can transfer heat quickly and efficiently. This is because of the free electrons within the metallic structure that can easily carry and transfer heat energy.
