What elements conduct electricity at room temperature?
The metals, specifically silver and copper are good conductors.
Why is sulfur a good insulator?
Sulfur is a nonmetal. Nonmetals are bad conductors, while metals are good conductors. Since sulfur is a bad conductors, it is a good insulator.
What types of bonds do you think the good conductors of electricity have?
Ionic has good conductors of electricity
Which property of both carbon nad silicon are unexpected?
They are both good electrical conductors which is unusual as non-metals are normally not very good electrical conductors.
Are gold copper and silver insulators or conductors?
They are metals, and like all metals they are excellent conductors of both heat and eletricity. While both conduct but not the same see periodic table plus silver oxidizes and eventual makes a bad conductor at the joints gold is not as good conductor but is is impervious of elements effects on it.
What are elements that are shiny bendable and good conductors of electricity called?
Metals. The elements that are classified as "Transition Metals" and are located in Groups 3 - 12 of the Periodic Table are elements that are shiny bendable and good conductors of electricity.
Good conductors of electricity are often good conductors of heat?
Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.
What are elements that are shiny malleable ductile good conductors of heat and electricity and make up most of the periodic table?
Those are metals.

metals
Are alkaline earth metal shiny or dull?
Alkali Earth metals are shiny. All metals have a property called luster witch means that they are shiny. All metals are also malleable, ductile, and are good conductors.
What are the major characteristics or metals?
good conductors, metallic luster, and shininess
Which elements are good conductors?
iron, water,
Elements that are good conductors?
All the metals.
Are all elements good electrical conductors?
No. Non-metals are very poor conductors, and with the exception of Neon, so are the gaseous elements.
What distinguishes nonmetals from metals?
metals are shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are dull and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
