Thermal conductivity of metals is due to:
Correct answer: B. Freely moving electrons
- A. Layered structure of metals
- B. Freely moving electrons
- C. Loosely held metal atoms
- D. Vibrational movement of metals
Explanation
The thermal conductivity of any physical material is a measure of its potential to conduct heat. The freely moving electrons are responsible for the conduction of heat and electricity in the metal. The delocalized electrons in the transfer of the metal kinetic energy; this is also referred to as conduction.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
