**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Metals**: Begin by recognizing what metals are. Metals are generally solid materials, with the exception of mercury, which is a liquid at room temperature. 2. **Properties of Metals**: Metals have tightly bound molecules. This tight bonding allows them to efficiently transfer energy. 3. **Heat Transfer in Metals**: When heat is applied to metals, the tightly packed molecules vibrate and pass the heat energy to neighboring molecules. This process allows heat to flow through the metal. ...
