Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
Some nonmetallic materials are good conductors, graphite being an example. In this form, it is considered a semi-metal for that reason. Normally, however, nonmetals are not good electrical conductors.
Does magnesium conduct heat and electricity?
Yes. Magnesium is a metal and all metals are great conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are not good conductors and metalloids are in between.
Are nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
In terms of the elements, no, with the possible exception of carbon (C) in the form of graphite. The non metal elements are generally the opposite, insulating as opposed to conducting. However, Water with a high salt concentration, and plasma (electrically charged gas) are good conductors.
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.
Why sulfur is 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.
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.

Are metals and nonmetals both good conductors?
no because metals conduct heat and electricity well, but nonmetals do not
Do nonmetals tend to be just as good conductors as metal?
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.
Does magnesium conduct heat and electricity?
Yes. Magnesium is a metal and all metals are great conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are not good conductors and metalloids are in between.

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.
Is true Metals are not good conductors of electricity. An electrolyte solution conducts electricity. Wood is a good conductor of electricity. Nonmetals are good conductors of electricity.?
1. Metals are good conductors of electricity.2.An electrolyte solution conducts electricity.3. Wood and nonmetals are not good conductors of electricity.
What are the physical properties of metal and non-metal?
metal- shiny non-metal- dull
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.
