Poor conductors of electricity include plastics, woods and gases, in other words, anything that is not a metal.
Poor conductors of heat include foam, air and some fabrics, such as felt.
Which kind of poor conductor do you mean? Poor conductors/insulators include wood, plasctic, polystyrene foam, fabric, gas or anything that is non-metal.
Not necessarily. Nichromium is a combination of the metals nickel and chromium. Is is a fairly poor conductor.
Plastic for example is a poor conductor because it is an insulator. Plastic is made up of a substance that dose not allow the flow of electrons.
Materials which contains 5 6 or 7 electrons in its outermost shell.
tough to answer - since nearly all metals are considered at least "good" conductors (though some are considered poor when compared to other metals, most metals - if not all - are fair conductors of electricity), i'd have to say any conductor that has a considerably high resistance to electrical current flow compared to a metal. since nearly everything will conduct when there's a high enough voltage present, i'd say if it's not a metal, or an electrolytic solution, it's probably a poor conductor. it really depends on your definition of "poor". does poor mean not able to run a circular saw over a distance of 500 feet, or poor mean it requires 8000 volts to overcome the surface resistance of a given "conductor"?
Any of the nonmetals on the Periodic Table would fit this description (17 total.) An example of a nonmetal would be Sulfur.
Elements that are dull and are poor conductors are nonmentals
anything that is an element and is poor with electricity is a nonmetal
I'm pretty sure that would be a non-metal.
Thermal insulators.
Non-metals
They are shiny!
metalloid
It is a poor material because it is very brittle. This is caused by its high carbon content. It is a poor material because it is very brittle. This is caused by its high carbon content.
Yes, it is true.
Nonmetals are very dull looking and are easily broken compared to a normal piece of metal. Nonmetals have high ionization energies and electro negativities. They are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity.Solid nonmetals are generally brittle, with little or no metallic luster. Most nonmetals have the ability to gain electrons easily. Nonmetals display a wide range of chemical properties and reactivities.
They are shiny!
A nonmetal is an element that tends to be dull, brittle, and a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
poor dry skin, dull brittle hair, brittle nails, pale
Insulators are conductors
metalloid
There are 17 nonmetals in the periodic table, and they are characterized by four major physical properties. 1. They rarely have metallic luster. 2. They are usually gases at room temperature. 3. Nonmetallic solids are neither malleable nor ductile. 4. They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

Yes, it is true.
Nonmetals are elements that are brittle and dull.
Most nonmetals are poor conductions of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. Solid nonmetals are dull and brittle.
a nonmetal because a metal is shiny and strong so a nonmetal is brittle and dull
gain electrons, poor conductor of heat, poor conuctor of energy, brittle like solid, nonmetalic color
