What metal has a low thermal conductivity?
The metals which are less reactive and not very shiny are generally less conductive than others.These metals generally have low melting and boiling points. The above result has been proven but still it is not true for all the metals,i.e,there are certain exceptions.Eg)mercury is good conductor of heat but not that good conductor of electricity.But there is no need to remember the conductivity of different metals,you just need to know some of the best conductors and some of the worst ,that's all.
Why is conduction faster in metals?
Metals are generally good conductors because they have many free electrons that are able to efficiently transfer thermal energy.
Is metal a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
No, a metal is an excellent conductor of electricity.
Is mercury a better conductor of heat than glass?
No, it is not. The best thermal conductor among the metals is silver, and it is the best electrical conductor as well. There is a general "rule" in the natural world that thermal and electrical conductivity are proportionate among metals; they "track" together. If a metal is a better thermal conductor than another metal, it will be a better electrical conductor as well. It should be noted that the best thermal conductor of all known materials is the allotrope of carbon we call diamond. Interestingly, diamond is an electrical insulator.
Metals are known to?
metals are known to be a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Is a steel a thermal conductor?
Yes. As with most metals, steel is a good conductor of heat.
What is good thermal?
easily heated metals and a good conductor of heat also cold
Is nickel a good thermal conductor?
Its OK: most metals are good conductors -------------------------------------------- More: since a nickel is made out of copper and nickel then it is sure to be a good conductor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More Information: Pure nickel is not a very good thermal conductor compared to other metals like copper. Nickel is often mixed with other metals, such as copper, and those alloys often have better thermal conductivity than pure nickel.
What shiny metal is a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Tranition metals
Do metals have good thermal and electrical conductors?
Generally yes.

Do metal have poor thermal?
If you mean "thermal conductivity", no; metals are generally fairly good heat conductors.
Is bronze a conductor or insulator?
It is a conductor. Alloys like bronze are generally not as good at conducting electricity as pure metals.

What kind of elements are good conductors of heat and electricity?
metals are the best conductor of heat and electricity. because the metals contains free electrons. the best conductor is silver (Ag). Metals like silver, copper & aluminium are good conductor of eleectricity as well as of heat.
Can heat move easily through a good thermal conductor?
Yes, that is what "good thermal conductor" means.
Is silver a conductor or a insulator?
it is a conductor as all other metals and the gold is also good conductor as silver!!!
