`Thermal Conductivity, Heat Transfer Review
`Metals in general have high electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, and high density. Typically they are malleable and ductile,
`deforming under stress without cleaving. In terms of optical properties, metals are shiny and lustrous. Sheets of metal beyond a few
`micrometres in thickness appear opaque, but gold leaf transmits green light.
`Although most metals have higher densities than most nonmetals, there is wide variation in their densities, Lithium being the least dense
`solid element and osmium the densest. The alkali and alkaline earth metals in groups I A and II A are referred to as the light metals
`because they have low density, low hardness, and low melting points. The high density of most metals is due to the tightly packed crystal
`lattice of the metallic structure. The strength of metallic bonds for different metals reaches a maximum around the center of the
`transition metal series, as those elements have large amounts of delocalized electrons in tight binding type metallic bonds. However,
`other factors (such as atomic radius, nuclear charge, number of bonds orbitals, overlap of orbital energies and crystal form) are involved
`as well.
