    Solution:

    The above statement is false.
    Copper metal is a good conductor of heat because it has a good amount of free electrons which can conduct electricity. Also, it has a compact structure, therefore, it transfers heat by the vibration of atoms. It finds application in heat exchangers, heat sinks, and even saucepan bottoms.
    The corrected statement would be “Copper metal is a good conductor of heat”.
