What happens to conductivity when moving across periodic table?
metal--> nonmetal --> metalloid
Properties of a nonmetal?
Generally, non-metals have/are: - low electrical conductivity - low thermal conductivity - lower density - brittle (in solid form) - dull (in solid form) - low melting points and low boiling points - high electronegativity - negative valency They also form they form acidic oxides, whereas metals form basic oxides.
Would you expect the insulation around an electrical outlet to be made from a mettaloid metal or nonmetal?
A non-metal, butlook inyour science book. :)
Is nails a metal nonmetal or a metalloid?
Nails are metal.
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.
Why conductivity of diamond is highest being a nonmetal?
It would help if you specify whether you are talking about thermal conductivity, or electrical conductivity. Diamond certainly doesn't has the highest electrical conductivity. Its thermal conductivity is one of the highest known, and - if a synthetic diamond is made from pure (99.9%) C-12, it is indeed the highest. The Wikipedia article attributes this to a strong covalent bonding.
Why does corrosion of metal decrease conductivity?
When metal corrodes, it forms an ionic bond with some corrosive nonmetal such as oxygen or sulfur, and once it forms such a bond, its valence electrons become tremendously less mobile, since they are caught by the nonmetal. The high electrical conductivity of metal depends upon the mobility of the valance electrons.
Antimony is like a nonmetal in that it is a brittle crystalline solid has poor electrical and heat conductivity and has a low boiling point However it is also like a metal because of its shiny?
Metalloids
Which of these properties would be more likely to be associated with a metal than a nonmetal?
Examples: malleability, ductility, thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, solid state, magnetism, high melting point, etc.
How does being a metalloid metal or nonmetal affect conductivity?
Metals are generally good conductors of electricity.
What happens to conductivity when moving across periodic table?
metal--> nonmetal --> metalloid
The only nonmetal that is a good electrical conductor?
That would be water.
What is the properties such as luster conductivity and flexibility are used to describe what type of elments?
metals, because if you read it also says conductivity, an that is how well something transfirs. eltricity
Has carbon got a low electrical resistance?
Because it is a nonmetal
Which metal has the highest conductivity?
At room temperature, silver has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all the (known) metals. Note that diamond, an allotrope of carbon, is a poor electrical conductor but is several times better as a thermal conductor than silver. Carbon is a nonmetal, of course, but it was worth mentioning as both a comparison and a curiousity.
Is actinium metal or nonmetal?
Not soluble in water (probably only a slow reaction), soluble in acids.
Can hydrogen conduct electricity?
Hydrogen has the highest thermal conductivity of any gas. The electrical conductivity of hydrogen varies according to temperature. If it is cold enough, it can be a superconductor. If it is hot enough, as a plasma, it is highly conductive.
