Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Metals conduct heat so well because electrons in them can easily move around and carry heat from one part to another. Metal atoms are more densely packed and thus more easily transmit heat vibrations. Because electrons in metals are free to move, heat energy can be transferred more easily. As a result, steel is a good heat conductor.
The corrected statement would be, “Metals are good conductors of heat”.
