Question

Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, on which type of bond does these properties of metal depends??

Answer 1

1. The bonds in metals are metallic bonds.

2. These bonds are formed by the overlapping of same orbitals of two adjacent metal atoms in the lattice.

3. These bonds are very strong and lose electrons present in the lattice of metals accounts for its good conduction of electricity and heat as these lose electrons have gain kinetic energy on heating.
