They also contain large numbers of free electrons. These drift slowly through the structure, giving metals their strength and other properties.

Detailed explanation-2: -Generally, metals are good conductors of heat but poor conductors of electricity.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, metals are good conductors of both heat and electricity, whereas nonmetals generally cannot conduct heat or electricity.
