What can you infer from the fact that metals are good conductors of electricity?

Metals are an excellent conductor of electricity and heat because the atoms in the metals form a matrix through which outer electrons can move freely. Instead of orbiting their respective atoms, they form a sea of electrons that surround the positive nuclei of the interacting metal ions.

Answer:

Knowing that these metals are infact good conductors of electricity we can infer that metals are able to hold and conduct certain temperatures. Another thing we can infer is that these good conductors can be used in connection to transferring energy or electricity.
