Answer is B A metal conducts heat in a similar way to electricity so, as you touch it, it draws heat from your body and makes your hand feel cold.
Plastics don't have to conduct heat so they don't draw heat from your body as efficiently, that's why a piece of plastic feels
than a piece of metal even if it's at the same temperature.
A)
long-chain molecules; warmer
B)
free electrons, warmer
valence electrons; colder
D)
a crystalline lattice; colder

h let me think

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
