What property of transition metals is responsible for their characteristic ductility malleability and conductivity?
the sea of electrons shared between metal atoms
What chemical property of Group 1 metals that results from the atoms of each metal having only one valence electron.?
Alkali metals are very reactive.
Is metal a thermal conductivity?
Yes, metal will conduct heat energy
Why gold are being used in electrical wires?
For its superb conductivityAnswerGold is not used to make fuse wire. Fuse wire is usually made up of an alloy of various combinations of metal (e.g. tin and lead) which results in the wire having good conductivity and a low melting point. In fact, gold does NOT have 'superb conductivity'; it is a relatively-poor conductor when compared with silver, copper, and aluminium.
Is a gas that does not conduct electricity a metal or a nonmetal?
The gas phase of matter (where the atoms or molecules are far apart) is usually a poorer conductor than the solid or liquid phases no matter what element the gas is made from. The conductivity of a metal is imbued by the fact that in the solid or liquid states the metallic elements have electrons that are free to pass from atom to atom (to flow). When these atoms are separated one from another (as in a gas) the electrons can not do this. Thus you can not tell if a gas is made from a metal simply on the basis of its electrical conductivity.

Does aluminum have conductivity?
Yes,Aluminum have conductivity because it is a metal
Is metal low conductivity?
No, metals have high conductivity but has low resistivity.
What is uranium electrical conductivity?
Uranium is a metal and as such, it has excellent electrical conductivity.
What causes low conductivity.... metal plus metal or non-metal plus non-metal or metal plus non-metal?
well, not metal+metal, but for the other 2 you'd have to specify, because water+metal=good conductivity & just water or another liquid = good conductivity. now stone, it is a horrible conductor.
What is bromine's electrical conductivity?
it is were a metal can not mix with an non metal
Is conductivity a metal?
Yes, metal will conduct heat energy
What is known for its electrical conductivity?
metal
What metal has the best conductivity?
Silver
Why does a metal have good conductivity?
yes
What is conductivity in metal?
A conductive metal is a metal that is able to transport an electric load.
