What are the properties of metals that conduct heat?

Answer 1

Ductility can be pulled out, or drawn, into long wireConductivity transfers heat or electricity into another object

Answer 2

Ductility is the property of the metal by virtue of which it can resist failure of fracture by undergoing deformation(plastic or elastic). in some metals, when stresses are applied, the metals resist it by allowing the stresses to flow thorugh it, threbey undergoing deformation. Uptil a certain limit the deformation is elastic in nature, after that point it will be a permanent deformation.

Conductivity is the property of the metal by virtue of which it can allow heat or electricity to pass through it. Conductivity is a property that attributes to the molecular structure of the metals. Metals posses valence electrons in their outermost shells of the atoms which are responsible for their electrical conductivity. The molecules of the metal are not free to move like in liquids dur to strong intermolecular force of attraction, but these nolecules randomly vibrate at their own position and interact with each other, these are responsible for their heat conductivity.

Answer 3

Metals that conduct heat well typically have high thermal conductivity, meaning they can transfer heat easily through their structure. They usually have free electrons that can move and transfer thermal energy efficiently. Additionally, metals usually have a crystalline structure that allows heat to move through them rapidly.

Answer 4

As most of the metals have 1 or 2 electron, these are less attarcted by neucleous, at their outer most shell when heat is supplied the electron(s) start to vibrate & conduct heat.
