✓ Answer: C Lead and mercury are comparatively good conductors of heat.
The incorrect statement is that lead and mercury are comparatively good conductors of heat. Metals are good conductors of heat; most metals like copper and aluminum transfer heat efficiently. Metals can be drawn into thin wires — this property is called ductility (e.g., copper wires). Metals have a shiny surface in their pure state.
