Why are metals good conductors of heat and electricity?

A.) anions rotate around the stationary electrons
B.) cations rotate around the stationary electrons
C.) free moving atoms in metals carry both heat and electric current
D.) free moving electrons in metals carry both heat and electric current free moving protons in metals carry both heat and electric current

Respuesta :

The answer is c.c is the correct answer

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metals contain valence electrons and these electrons are free to move from one place to another.

Therefore, due to the presence of mobile electrons metals can easily conduct electricity.

Thus, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity because there are free moving atoms in metals that carry both heat and electric current.
