Source sentences:
text: Metals conduct heat because the free electrons are able to transfer energy away from the heat source and also because vibrations of atoms (phonons) move through a solid metal as a wave.
text: These metals often have a shiny luster and conduct both heat and electricity very well.
text: Metallic elements conduct heat and electricity.
text: By contrast, metals conduct electricity and heat well because of the arrangement of their atoms, which create a lattice that allows the outermost electrons from one atom to easily transfer to another.
text: Metals conduct heat for the same reason: the free electrons can transfer the energy at a faster rate than other substances with electrons that are fixed into position.
