Question:

plz help me!! how is metal made??

i need information on how metal is made for my assignment i dont know how metal is made!!! please help asap

Answer:

copper has a very low specific heat this means heat with transfer into and out of it quickly
The moleculres are closer together and the molecules get excited and bounce around causing others near them to do the same. In a gas, the molecules do the same, they are just farther apart from one another.
This site explains why metal is the best conductor of heat.
The article about metallic bonding gives a good explanation. In metals the electrons are delocalized.
Metals have low specific heat compared to other substances, which means it takes less energy to raise the temperature. Their low specific heat comes from the fact that metals are generally dense solids, and the molecules vibrate close together, causing the average kinetic energy to go up (the measurement of temperature).Therefore, they heat quickly.
