A material that is conducts heat well is most likely?
Metals conduct heat and electricity well.
A material is nonmagnetic and gaseous and does not conduct heat or electricity It will however react with other elements It is most likely a what?
Nonmetal.
Out of ionic pure covalent metallic and polar covalent which is most likely to conduct electricity?
All types of covalent compounds are not very good conductors of electricity. However, ionic compounds in their molten state and metallic substances are very good conductors of electricity.
Why does a solid substance not contain conduct electricity but an ionic substance dissolved in water does?
Good question my friend. In the solid state the cations(+vly charged ions) and anions(-vly charged ions)are held together by strong electrostatic forces and hence they behave neutral.But when they are in fused state the oppositely charged ions get separated giving room to electric conductivity (cation of the salt is associated to -ve part of the solvent while anion is with +vly charged part).
How could we tell if a compound consists of ions if it doesn't dissolve in water?
As long as a compound is an ionic compound, it will be made of ions. One can choose to melt the compound so as to liberate the ions. Once done, these ions can act as free mobile ions to help conduct electricity. As long as the compound is able to conduct electricity in liquid form, it is most likely an ionic compound (with the exception of water).
Do all planets conduct electricity?
Planets themselves probably do not conduct electricity, although it is likely that most planets do contain some conductive materials. The vast majority of the matter on the Earth does not conduct electricity very well, although large deposits of iron, silver, gold and copper all _DO_ conduct electricity.
Would you expect cardboard to conduct electricity?
No, I wouldn't. It is more like a insulator, not a conductor. Silver conducts electricity the best. If a current were put through cardboard, it would most likely catch on fire, not conduct electricity.
A material that is conducts heat well is most likely?
Metals conduct heat and electricity well.
Which element is most likely to conduct heat and electricity?
Diamond,Silver and Copper.
Why is a metal found on the left side of the periodic table likely to conduct electricity?
Metals lose electrons to form cations. These ions help in conducting electricity.
A material is nonmagnetic and gaseous and does not conduct heat or electricity It will however react with other elements It is most likely a what?
Nonmetal.
Does kiwi conduct electricity?
Because it has a high water content (a good conductor), it most likely does to some extent.
Out of ionic pure covalent metallic and polar covalent which is most likely to conduct electricity?
All types of covalent compounds are not very good conductors of electricity. However, ionic compounds in their molten state and metallic substances are very good conductors of electricity.
What kind of elastic demand does electricity belong?
It depends on whether electricity is necessity or luxury. In the US where electricity is a necessity, the demand is likely to be inelastic In Africa where electricity is luxury, the demand is likely to be elastic

How does early-onset conduct disorder compare to adolescent-onset conduct disorder?
is more likely to be outgrown.
