Metals conduct heat well for two reasons: metal ions pack very closely together in their molecular lattice, and electrons drifting through the metal carry kinetic energy around the lattice. The result is a quick elevation in particle motion that is expressed through heat energy. This conductivity is one reason why one rarely sees metal playground equipment anymore - although the slides go a lot faster than plastic ones, sitting on a slide on a hot summer afternoon is often quite painful

Metals are good conductors of heat for two reasons:
the close packing of the metal ions in the lattice. the delocalised electrons can carry kinetic energy through the lattice.

True or False. When covalent bonds are formed between atoms having different electronegativities, the electrons tend to spend less time at the atom with the greater electronegativity. Such chemical bonds are called polar covalent bonds.
