Q1 Thermal conductivity of electrons Ke is atleast a magnitude greater than the thermal conductivity of phonon Kp Electrons carry greater part of heat current in metals Presence of electrons gives rise to additional mechanism for scattering of phonons This scattering influences Kp and thermal conductivity of metal has greater part of from electron than from phonons ie Ke than Kp Q2 When large number or more than 1 identical atoms come    See Answer
