Poorly conducting nonmetals can be at a wide range of temperatures and still conduct poorly. Glass, for example, is a poor electrical conductor whether at room temperature, or very hot, or very cold.

Element that is usually a gas or brittle solid at room temperature and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity?

Nonmetals, such as oxygen or sulfur, are typically gases or brittle solids at room temperature. They have poor conductivity of heat and electricity due to a lack of free electrons to carry the charge.


Which element at room temperature is a poor conductor of electricity and has a relatively high electronegativity?

Sulfur has relatively high electronegativity and is also a poor conductor of electricity at room temperature. Fluorine has the highest electronegativity and copper is a good conductor of electricity.


What are most nonmetals at room temperature?

Most nonmetals are gases at room temperature, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine. Some nonmetals, like sulfur and carbon, are solids at room temperature.


Element X is a poor conductor of heat has a low boiling point and is a brittle solid at room temperature. Where on the periodic table would Element X most likely be found?

Element X is likely to be found in the upper right section of the periodic table, specifically in the nonmetals or metalloids region. Its characteristics, such as being a poor conductor of heat, having a low boiling point, and being brittle at room temperature, are typical of nonmetals like sulfur or phosphorus. These elements are generally found in groups 14 to 16 of the periodic table.


Is oxygen a poor conductor of electricity and a brittle solid at room temperature?

im pretty sure that oxygen is a poor conducter of electricty because it is a gas and a nonmetal and i think it is a brittle solid at room temperature but im not sure.....hope i helped :)


Of the elements oxygen zinc and iodine which one is likely to be poor conductor of electricity and a brittle solid at room temperature?

Iodine is likely to be a poor conductor of electricity and a brittle solid at room temperature. It is a non-metal with properties that make it a poor conductor of electricity and a brittle solid.


What Of the elements Oxygen Zinc and iodine which one would you predict to be a poor conducter of electricity and a brittle solid at room temperature?

Iodine would likely be a poor conductor of electricity and a brittle solid at room temperature. Oxygen and zinc are more metallic in nature, which generally means they are better conductors of electricity and have more malleable properties compared to nonmetals like iodine.


Is glass a poor conductor?

It depends on whether you mean heat conductor or electrical conductor; in either case it is a poor conductor at room temperature; but at very high temperature it is a good electrical conductor but still a poor heat conductor


Are most nonmetals are liquid?

Most nonmetals are not liquid at room temperature, as they are gasses. The only nonmetal that is in a liquid state at room temperature is bromine.


Are many of nonmetals are gases at room temperature?

Nonmetals are gases but also solids.


Elements X is a poor conductor of heat has a low boiling point and is a brittle solid at room temperature where on the periodic table would Element X most likely be found?

Element X is likely to be found in the upper right section of the periodic table, specifically among the nonmetals. Nonmetals are generally poor conductors of heat and have low boiling points, and many of them exist as brittle solids at room temperature, such as sulfur or phosphorus. This positioning indicates that Element X is not a metal and exhibits typical nonmetallic properties.


Are all nonmetals liquid at room temperature?

No. In fact the only non-metal that is a liquid at room temperature is Bromine, and even that can be considered a gas at times. The only other liquid in the periodic table is Mercury, which is a metal.
