Answer:

looseness of outer electrons in metal atoms

Explanation:

Unlike in insulators the valance electrons in metals are free to roam inside the boundaries of the metal slab. These electrons are called free electrons.

These electrons are free to move because there is no gab between their valance band and conduction band.

Since they are free to move they can transfer charges easily and be a good conductor.

Also heat exchange takes place when one electron collides with another moving electron or a stationary atom.

This is why metals are both good heat conductors and good electrical conductors.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Metals are both good heat conductors and good electrical conductors because of the </em><em>looseness of outer electrons in metal atoms</em>

_________________________

Unlike nonmetals that are insulators, most metals are both good heat conductors and good electrical conductors. This is because within a solid metal there is one or more outer electrons in each atom that become detached and can move freely through the solid metal, but <em>what about the other electrons?</em>  Well, the y remain bound to the positively charged nuclei, and bound within the material in almost fixed positions. On the other hand, insulators are material having few, very few or no electrons that are allowed to move freely through  the material.
