Quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of the metal,
Q = mc∆T
where m is the mass of the metal, c is the metal's specific heat capacity, and ∆T is the change in temperature that accompanies the heat transfer process
The larger the number of the energy level, the farther it is from the nucleus. Electrons that are in the highest energy level are called valence electrons. Within each energy level is a volume of space where specific electrons are likely to be located.
