Metals are really good thermal conductors for which of the following reasons? Select all that apply.

Metals can absorb more heat flow than other elements before damage occurs.

Particles of metallic structure begin to vibrate faster as they absorb energy.

Metals have a larger number of freely moving electrons.

Metals have high densities.

Metals have high melting points.

No. They conduct the heat.

No. All solids molecules start to vibrate when they absorb energy like heat.

Metals have a larger number of freely moving electrons.

Yes. They are stable but have a lot of valence electrons so, they can easily give them.

Metals have high densities.

Yes, having a lot of atoms helps the conductivity.

Metals have high melting points.

Yes. Some metals melting point is over 3000º degrees
