Lead and tin are good conductors, as are all metals. That is a result of the metallic bond, in which the constituent atoms in a piece of metal share their electrons with each other in the form of a cloud of electrons, all of which can move very freely and are not attached to any particular atom or region.

What is the result of mixing tin and lead?
mixture of tin and lead, and nothing will happen. If tin atom reacts with lead atom, none of the atoms will oxidise even if they are heated. because reaction will only occur when a metal react with acid and so on.
Why does solder melt before lead and tin?
Solder melts before pure tin or pure lead because the molecules of the tin and the lead which make up the solder have not bonded chemically (they have only been mixed together so there has been not chemical reaction), so can easily vibrate quicker, therefore they will melt quicker.
Why do power cables need to be good thermal conductors?
they have to be good conductors to avoid hot spots and so heat can past through quickly
Which metal is the poorest conductor of electricity?
Correct Answer= Aluminum( among this 4 conductor)A. Tin C. LeadB. Zinc D. Aluminum
Is lead a good conductor of electricity?
Lead is a good conductor. Conductor Lead is a metal and it will conduct electricity. A pencil lead is made of graphite, a type of soft carbon. This is a non-metal, but it does conduct electricity. Conduct
Is foil a good conductor of heat?
Tin foil is a metal and metals are generally good conductors of heat, so i would have to say yes. Hope this helps T.M.M :-)
How many protons are in the nucleus of an atoms tin or lead?
The atomic number of tin is 50 and the atomic number of lead is 82. The atomic number tells the number of protons in the nucleus, so lead has more protons.
What is the result of mixing tin and lead?
mixture of tin and lead, and nothing will happen. If tin atom reacts with lead atom, none of the atoms will oxidise even if they are heated. because reaction will only occur when a metal react with acid and so on.
Which is heavier lead or solder?
Lead. The densities of lead and tin are 11.34 g/cm^3 and ~7 g/cm^3, respectively. Lead solder is an alloy made of mostly lead and tin; a mixture of lead and tin will weigh less than 100% lead. Lead-free solders are made of tin, copper, silver, indium, bismuth, zinc, antimony, and other metals; none of these metals is heavier than lead. So, lead is the champion.
What metal is flattened into sheets that are made into metal cans and foil?
Aluminium, iron (steel), zinc. Early tin cans were soldered closed - so that includes lead as an answer. this is not a good answer
Why does solder melt before lead and tin?
Solder melts before pure tin or pure lead because the molecules of the tin and the lead which make up the solder have not bonded chemically (they have only been mixed together so there has been not chemical reaction), so can easily vibrate quicker, therefore they will melt quicker.
Why do power cables need to be good thermal conductors?
they have to be good conductors to avoid hot spots and so heat can past through quickly
Why is ammunition so expensive?
Increased costs of copper, lead, tin, and increased demand.
What is the oxidation of lead and tin equations?
Tin and Lead are both metals with oxidation numbers of 2+ and 4+, so the two equations for Lead (Pb) are 2Pb + O2 ---> 2PbO and Pb + O2 ---> PbO2 The equations for Tin (Sn) look the same ... just substitute Sn where you see Pb.
Are all elements good electrical conductors?
No. Non-metals are very poor conductors, and with the exception of Neon, so are the gaseous elements.
Which metal is the poorest conductor of electricity?
Correct Answer= Aluminum( among this 4 conductor)A. Tin C. LeadB. Zinc D. Aluminum
Is germanium a good conductor of electricity?
Germanium is a good conductor because it is between silicon and tin, its a metalloid. Tin can conduct electricity and so can germanium
