Open in App
Solution

Metals:

  1. Metals account for around 75% of all elements and are placed together in the periodic table's center to left-hand sections.
  2. Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides are some of the metals.
  3. They have properties like lustrous in nature, hard, fusible, malleable, ductile, etc.
  4. They have the property of shining in their pure condition. The metallic luster is the shine on a metal surface.
  5. The ability of metals to be converted into thin sheets is referred to as malleability.
  6. The qualities of metals that allow them to be pulled into thin wires are referred to as ductility.
  7. Metals are excellent conductors of heat and electricity because they have a large number of free electrons that increase mobility.
  8. Silver and Copper are two metals that are best for conducting electricity because of the presence of more freely movable electrons in them.

Therefore, Silver and Copper are two metals that are best for conducting electricity
