Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ability of a metal to allow heat or electricity to pass through it.
A
conductivity
B
insulator
C
mass
D
density
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Conductivity. Conductivity is the measure of the ease at which an electric charge or heat can pass through a material. A conductor is a material which gives very little resistance to the flow of an electric current or thermal energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Blog What Is Conductivity in Metals? Conductivity in metal is a measure of a material’s ability to transmit heat, or electricity (or sound). The reciprocal of conductivity is resistance, or the ability to reduce the flow of those.

Detailed explanation-3: -In metal solids, the bonded atoms share their valence electrons, forming a sea of freely moving conduction electrons which carry both heat and electrical charge.

Detailed explanation-4: -Materials that allow electricity to pass through them are called conductors. Copper wire is a good conductor.

Detailed explanation-5: -Conductivity is the opposite of resistivity, and it refers to the ability of the material to allow current to flow when a potential difference is applied.
