Question

(02.04 mc)
some metals have a molecular structure that makes them good conductors. what about some metals makes them good conductors?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Metals have a sea of delocalized electrons. These electrons are not bound to a single atom and can move freely throughout the metal lattice. When an electric field is applied (such as connecting a metal to a battery), these delocalized electrons can flow, which is the basis of electrical conduction. In terms of thermal conduction, the movement of these electrons also helps transfer thermal energy (as the electrons can collide with other atoms and transfer kinetic energy).

Answer:

Their delocalized electrons (which can move freely to conduct electricity and heat).
