About all we can do is compare zinc to some other metals. Zinc isn't a terrible conductor, but it isn't the greatest, either. Perhaps it might be best to classify it a fair as regards electrical conductivity. Here is a list of just a few metals and their electrical conductivity as "just a number" to make comparison easy: Aluminum 59
Brass 28
Copper (annealed) 100
Gold 65
Lead 7
Mercury 1.66
Platinum 15
Silver 106
Tin 13
Titanium 5
Tungsten 28.9
Zinc 28.2 Zinc isn't great, but it isn't at the bottom of the list, either.

∙ 14y agoYes zinc is a conductor! Although it is not a very good one because it has a low melting point hope this helps
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIt's good compared to granite, but poor compared to silver.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, because zinc is a metal

Is the metal zinc a good conductor of heats and electricity?
Yes it is.
Is zinc good heat conductor?
Zinc is a fair conductor of heat, this is due to it's low melting point. And please don't assume that if it's a metal is a good conductor heat and electricity, thank you. Cristobal Carrillo
What is the metal that is a good conductor of electricity and two of its alloys are brass and bronze?
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. Copper is a very good conductor of electricity.
Why Zinc oxide is a semiconductor?
A substance is classified as a good/bad/semi conductor based upon the energy gap (band gap) in between the valence bands and conduction bands (which are nothing but the collection of molecular orbital energy levels). for ZnO the band gap is ~3.4eV (electron volts). this value is more than for a conductor (like most of the metals Cu, Zn, Ag, Au etc) and less than bad conductors (Wood, Paper etc). so ZnO is a semi conductor. these type of materials can be played with to behave as a good or bad conductor.
What is the Poorest conductor of electricity tin zinc lead aluminum?
plumbum is poorest
Is zinc an good or bad conductor of electricity?
zinc is a good conductor of electricity
Is zinc a nonconductor?
No. Zinc, like all metals, is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Examples of metal which are good conductor of heat?

Is the metal zinc a good conductor of heats and electricity?
Yes it is.
The difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?
A good insulator means a bad conductor. It is the opposite of good conductor.
Is a zinc a insulator?
No, Zinc is a conductor of electricity.
