The most common metallic conductors are copper and aluminium. The very best metallic conductor is silverwhich, because of its cost, is only used for special applications such as coatings for electrical contacts, etc.
Copper has about 95% of the conductivity of silver, and aluminium has about 58% of the conductivity of silver.

What are metal oars?
Metal ores are metallic elements found in compounds with other elements in nature. These ores are then separated to produce pure metals.
What is meant by primary metal?

What are metallic ores?
Metal ores are rocks with metal in them. The ore can be extracted in a furnace by heating the ore, coke and limestone at a very high temperature. The molten metal is then collected off.
What are the common ores of iron and lead?
Common Ores of Lead would be: Galena, which contains 86 percent metal...Anglesite, which carries 68 percent metal...Cerussite, which contains 77 percent metal...Pyromorphite,Mimetite and Wulfenite. Common Ores of Iron would be: Hematite (Hematite deposits are the most important source of Iron Ore in the United States.) Limonite,and Magnetite
What are the most common ores mined in Australia?
Uranium and zirconium ores
Are metal ores synthetic?
No, metal ores occur naturally in the Earth.
Why do you mine metal ores?
Metal ores are used as resources from which metals may be extracted.
Why aren't metal ores useful?

What is the name of the main iron ores?
Two of the most common ores are Haematite and Magnetite, the most common being Hematite.Some others are Taconite, Goethite, Limonite and Siderite.
What are factories that make metal ores called?
Factories do not make metal ore. A refinery or smelter makes metal from metal ores.
Does metal come from ores?
From various minerals and ores which are mined. Which metal depends on which mineral is mined.
What is oxide ores?
