The property of a substance that enables it to conduct electricity may also allow the same substance to conduct heat. An insulator does not conduct heat well. What elements are good insulators?
it is called conductivity if it is carrying electric it is electrical conductivity. If it is carrying Heat it is thermal conductivity.
What are common physical properties of most metals?
they conduct electricity as they have free electrons.
Iron is a good conductor of heat and electricity is this a chemical property?
Thermal conductivity Electrical conductivity
Is ionic compound electrical conductivity in the liquid state good or poor?
Good
What is a material that does not conduct well?
insulator

Does all the substances conducteed electritcy show the same amount of conductivity?
no all the conductors do not have the same electrical conductivity as copper is a good conductor and silver is the best but it is costly.
Do aluminium and iron both conduct electricity?
Aluminium is a good thermal and electrical conductor, having 62% the conductivity of copper...
The ability of a material to transfer heat is?
Heat Conductivity.The word conductivity may also be used to refer to electrical conductivity, the ability to conduct/transfer electricity. Metals are good at both.
What are common physical properties of most metals?
they conduct electricity as they have free electrons.
What is the conductivity for sodium azide?
Electrical conductivity: 0.21 x 106 S cm-1
Iron is a good conductor of heat and electricity is this a chemical property?
Thermal conductivity Electrical conductivity
How does electrical current affect zirconium diboride?
Zirconium diboride has a good electrical conductivity.
What large materials are good thermal conductors and good electrical conductors?
from wiedemann franz law we know that thermal conductivity/electrical conductivity=constant that is sigma inv. proportional to k thus a material having large electrical conductivity has low thermal conductivity and moreover we know R=pL/A p=RA/L 1/P=L/RA i.e lower area means greater conductivity(electrical) and lower thermal conductivity
Why metal are good electrical conductivity?
Delocalized valence electrons
Is ionic compound electrical conductivity in the liquid state good or poor?
Good
Is it necessary to measure the conductivity of a material?
In many cases, yes, it is necessary to measure the conductivity of a material. We need to know how well materials conduct electricity, particularly if these materials are used in the construction of anything electrical or electronic. We need to know what we can use around electrical circuits that won't conduct well, and we need to find things to make up that circuit that are good conductors. Simple, easy to understand.
