No, nonmetals tend to be insulators. Some (e.g. carbon) are poor conductors.
Semiconductors (e.g. silicon and germanium) in their pure form are insulators but when doped with the right impurities can conduct as good as metals. This is why they are called semiconductors.

What are bundled conductors?
High-voltage transmission line conductors are 'bundled' -that is, each 'line' comprises two or more conductors, rather than a single conductor, suspended from each insulator chain. The reason for bundling is to reduce the intensity of the electric field on the surface of the conductors (the same field is shared between the surfaces of several, rather than just one, conductors), which would otherwise result in a breakdown of the insulating property of the air immediately surrounding a single conductor. In the UK, 400-kV transmission lines use a bundle of four conductors per line, and 275-kV transmission lines use a bundle of two.
What is metalica's genre?
Metallica are a thrash metal band, although they have experimented with alternative rock in the course of their career.
If two similar pieces of metal are heated one to red hot and the other just hot are plunged into water why does the hotter piece cool the quickest?
metal
Can i get a juul past a metal detector Trying to get my juul onto a cruise but not sure if they'll be able to see it on a metal detector or if they scan me. Will it go off on a metal detector?
I suggest you just ask the cruise line if e-cigarettes are allowed.
Is aquario a boy Beyblade in metal fusion?
it just a beyblade,beyblades arent boy or girl the
How are solid nonmetals different from metals?
Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat; nonmetals usually aren't. Also, metals tend to have a shiny surface.
Nonmetals are conductors of heat and electricity?
Everything conducts heat, just depends how well. As for electricity, only some, like water.
Why are nonmetals used for making handles of pots?
so that they dont get too hot just by conduction from the metal pot
Why aren't metalliods just considered metals or nonmetals?
They have properties of both so it would be inaccurate to specify metal or nonmetal
What metals do heat?
No it cannot. It will just metal or cook us alive.
Is paper clip a conductor or insulators?
conductor. We just experimented in science last week.
Why metals are good conductors?
Metals are good conductors of both electric charges and heat because their electrons are "loose." (info from physics book)
Is gold a conductors of electricity?
Yes, gold is one of the best conductors of electricity.
Are all nonmetals nonmagnetic?
No. All non-metals are not non-magnetic. just like hydrogen which is a non-metal but it is a diamagnetic... another example of oxygen, which is a non-metal but it is paramagnetic... and there are alot of non-metals which are magnetic also..
Why heat transfer to metal objects?
Heat transfers to, and from, any object, not just metal object. Metals in general are very good conductors of heat; as a result, you might feel the temperature more easily when you touch a metal object. If you get burned more easily by a metal object than by a wooden object, for example, both at the same temperature, this is a direct result of heat conduction.
What characteristic of copper and aluminum causes them to be good conductors?
Both are metals, and metals are great conductors, thats why copper and aluminum are very good conductors causing to that they are made and are metals. Just did my homework on this from another website this is 100% correct! Cya people, Christopher :)
Does caesuim conduct electricity?
Yes it does. Cesium is a metal, and they are all good conductors. However, cesium is so highly reactive that it wouldn't really be around long enough to be used as a conductor. It reacts with just about everything, including the gases in air.
