Copper has relatively easily available electron as compare to the iron because copper has bigger atomic size than iron which means the shielding effect in copper is more than iron so the electron of copper can conduct heat more easily and efficiently as compare to the electron of the iron which make iron not a good conductor of heat if it is compair to copper.
