Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. Materials that allow heat to pass through them easily are called good conductors of heat.
  2. Metals are good conductors.
  3. The reason metals conduct heat so well is that the electrons in them can move around easily, and they can carry heat from one part to another. Metal atoms are packed more densely and can transmit heat vibrations more readily.
  4. Two examples of good conductors are copper and aluminium.
