What else can I help you with?
Are non metals conducters?
they are poor electricity and heat conductors
Are most non metals good conducters?
Most of them are not. but C is a good conductor.
How do you distinguish a metallic and a non metallic by using 5 properties?
metals are shinier than some of thenon metals. metals are excellent conducters of heat and electricity. metals can bear alot of strain without breaking. metals can be made into thin wires. metals can be mae into thin shapes.
Do non metals contuct heat?
Non metals do not conduct heat. They have high resistance.They are insulators.Non metals do not have a pool of 'free electrons' (as metals do with metallic bonds). Hence they generally are poor conductors of heat. Nonmetals such as Styrofoam are widely used as insulators. Graphite is an exception as it is a good conductor of heat with its free electrons.Most of the non metals does not conductors because the do not have free electrons. But graphite is a good conductor. Most of the non metals are insulators.
What are elements called that are good conductors of heat and electricity?
Non metals :P
How does the electrical and heat conduction of metals and non metals compare?
Electrical and heat conduction is much greater in metals than in non metals.
What are physical properties of non metals?
Non metals do not conduct heat & electricity, good insulators, non mileable, high combustivity, low density and light in weight
What are metals and non-metals and metaloids?
Metals are elements that are usually malleable, ductile, conductive of heat and electricty, and lusterous. Non metals are elements that do not exhibit these characteristics. Metaloids are elements with intermediate properties.
Difference between metals non metals?
There are a number of ways in which a metal can be differientiate a metal from a non-metals, these involve contrasting the properties between metals and non-metals and testing them to distinguish them from one another. Some contrasting properties between metals and non-metals: 1.) Metals conduct electricity whereas non-metals do not. 2.) Metals are shiny whereas non-metals are not. 3.) Metals are malleable whereas non-metals are brittle. 4.) Metals often have a higher boiling/melting point than non-metals. 4.) Metals are hard whereas non metals are not.
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 4 physical properties of non-metals?
1. they are not good conductors of heat and electricity(except graphite) 2.they are not malleable (cannot be hammered into sheets). 3.they are not ductile(cannot be drawn into wires). 3.they have low densities.
Which materials are good or bad conductors of heat?
metals are good conductors of heat, i.e. iron, steel,... non-metals are bad, i.e. carbon...
