What else can I help you with?
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
What are uses of nonmetals?
Non metals are used as insulators (poor conductors)
Is non metal a semi conductor?
No. Nonmetals are generally non-conductors. Metalloids are usually semiconductors.
Elements can be classified as metals semi metals non metals?
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are poor conductors. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Are nonmetals semiconductors?
Some are, such as silicon and germanium. Others are non-conductors known as insulators, such as glass.
Are nonmetals nonconductors?
Most non-metals are in fact considered to be non-conductors. Some non-metals however do have the ability to conduct heat and electricity.
Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
No, nonmetals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity. This is because they do not have freely moving electrons that can carry the heat or electric charge effectively. Metals, on the other hand, are good conductors due to the presence of delocalized electrons.
What are the three categories of elements?
Metals, non-metals and transition metals.
What are the different types of elements on the Periodic table?
The periodic table includes metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, ductile, and good conductors of electricity. Nonmetals are often dull, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Is a metal and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are generally good conductors of electricity, as they have free-moving electrons that can carry electric current. Nonmetals, on the other hand, are poor conductors of electricity, as they lack free-moving electrons to conduct electricity effectively.
Which of the following is a characteristic of nonmetals?
- lower density- lower hardness- lower melting point- lower boiling point- some nonmetals are gaseous or liquidsetc.
What are the three broad classes on the periodic table?
The three broad classes on the periodic table are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are poor conductors. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
