Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity are?
All Non-Metals are poor conductor of electricity.
Which can conduct electricity metals or non-metals?
Mainly metals. All metals are fairly good conductors. Some non-metals can conduct electricity, as well.
Are non-metals good conductors of electricity?
No, they are not good conductors of electricity. Graphite is an exception as despite being a non-metal it conducts electricity. Only metals are good conductors of heat as well as electricity.
Are non metals conducters?
they are poor electricity and heat conductors
What material does not allow light to pass through is a good conductor of heat but not a good conductor of electricity?
Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity. Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity.
Do transitional metals conduct electricity?
Yes. In fact the transition metals silver, copper, and gold are the three best electrical conductors of any metal.
What are elements called that are good conductors of heat and electricity?
Non metals :P
Can non metals lack luster and are poor conductors of electricity?
Yes, it is true.
What are the similarities and differences between metals and metalloids and non metals?
The electrons in a metal can leave the atom and move about in the metal as free electrons. While atoms in non-metals are bonded. Heat energy is passed along by vibartions as the bonds between the non-metals atoms are shaken. Conduction in metals is faster than in non-metals. Making metals good conductors and making non-metals poor conductors.
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.
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.
Are there no non-metals that conduct electricity well?
Graphite is a non metals which conducts electricity well.Also there are electric conducting non metal.Also many liquids conduct electricity.Semi conductors like Silicon,Germanium also conduct electricity.
