it is because of the mobile electron pool. due to this electron arrangement metal ions are so closely packed, when one end is heated the ions in that end vibrate.this results the neighbouring ions to vibrate one by one. thus thru vibration heat is carried from one end to the other. since such an arrangement is found only in metals,metals are good thermal conductors..
