What property makes carbon different from nonmetals?
thermal and electrical conductivity
Of all the nonmetals which has the highest conductivity?
The carbon allotrope we call diamond has the highest thermal (heat) conductivity of any material. It is far better an any metal (or anything else we know of) at allowing heat to pass through it. It is carbon (in its graphite allotrope) that has the highest electrical conductivity under normal conditions of any of the nonmetals. Any metal is a better electrical conductor, but carbon is good enough to make brushes for electrical motors out of. You'll recall that the brushes complete the electrical circuit between the wiring of the non-moving elements to the rotating commutator.
What kind of solutions have good conductivity?
Solution of electrolytes are good electricity conductors.
Is silicon a good conductor at energy?
semi conductor. a good semi conductor. It can also be n or p doped to increase it's conductivity
Why does conductivity of distilled water increase shortly after exposure to air?
Water easily absorb carbon dioxide or other gases from the atmosphere.
Why carbon is a bad conductor of electricity?
No, carbon is a good conductor of electricity. Example, the carbon brushes in electric motors. But you might research the conductivity of Diamond and Graphite.
What is carbon's conductivity?
Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and an atomic number of 6. Its thermal conductivity for diamond is 900-2300, while its conductivity for graphite is 119-165.
Does carbon have thermal conductivity?
yes
What is the thermal conductivity of carbon dioxide?
Thermal conductivity of gaseous carbon dioxide: 14,65 mW/(m.K) at 1,013 bar and 0 °C.
What is the thermal and electrical conductivity of carbon?
Well i hate SCHOOL
What properties do carbon and graphite fibers have?
applications for carbon and graphite increased exponentially, with many new firms capitalizing on the thermal stability, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance of carbon and graphite fibers.
Which would be the best insulator carbon or silicon or aluminum or oxygen?
Oxygen. Carbon as diamond is a good electrical insulator, (graphite is an electrical conductor), silicon is a semiconductor so has limited electrical conductivity and aluminium is a metal and a good electrical conductor.
Is carbon is semiconductor?
Nothing has been found about the electrical conductivity of carbon compared to other conductors. It is not a semiconductor.
What property makes carbon different from nonmetals?
thermal and electrical conductivity
One molecular solid which exhibit electrical conductivity?
The graphite form of carbon.
Why does a metal have good conductivity?
yes
Iron is a good conductor of heat and electricity is this a chemical property?
Thermal conductivity Electrical conductivity
