This is different for different metals.
Chemical compounds have very different properties compared to metals.Metallic compounds have more similar qualities to original metals. All of these metals are good conductors of heat. All of them have a luster.
Most metals are malleable, meaning they can be hammered or pressed into different shapes. They are also ductile, able to be drawn into wires. Metals are shiny or lustrous, reflecting light. Finally, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Yes, most alloys are good conductors of heat and electricity. This is because alloys are made by mixing different metals together, which creates a structure that allows the flow of heat and electric charge more easily compared to pure metals.
No single piece of metal will produce electricity when heated. You will need two different metals, mechanically touching. When the join between the metals is heated, it will produce electricity, dependant on the metals used. This is known as a 'thermocouple'.
because different metals are better and worse heat conducters
All metals are conductors of electricity and heat.
This is different for different metals.
Metals conduct heat better than non-metals due to the arrangement of their atoms, which allows for the free movement of electrons. In metals, electrons can easily move from one atom to another, carrying heat energy with them. This high electron mobility is what makes metals good conductors of heat.
Because they're made up of different types of material
No, (nearly) all metals have different thermal conductivity, since they all have different atomic/molecular structures.
Layers of rocks can have different thicknesses due to variations in the rate of sediment deposition, changes in environmental conditions over time, and the presence of different types of sediment being deposited. Factors such as water currents, wind patterns, and tectonic movement can also play a role in shaping the thickness of rock layers.

Heat travels by conduction through different materials by transferring kinetic energy from one molecule to another. In metals, heat is conducted through the free electrons between atoms. In non-metals, heat is conducted through vibrations of atoms and molecules.
Electrical and heat conduction is much greater in metals than in non metals.
No, metals are generally good conductors of heat, meaning they allow heat to easily pass through them. This is why metals are often used in cooking utensils or in the construction of buildings to help distribute heat evenly.
Yes, heat and electricity can pass through metals.
