Ductile means that it can hammered thin or made into a wire. That pretty much excludes the possibility of being brittle. However, conducting heat or electricity is entirely different. It just so happens that metals are often ductile and the often conduct heat and electricity, but other materials are not ductile that do conduct electricity, and many of them are brittle. The physical properties (being ductile or brittle) do not necessarily determine the chemical properties (being conductive).

Which property is not a general property of metal ductile poor conductor of heat malleable high luster?
poor conductor of heat
Which is not a characteristic of most metals brittle good conductor ductile malleable?
Most metals are not brittle.
Copper is used to make electric wire because it is a good what?
ductile. You must have the same worksheet as I do.
What is the conductor of electricity?
Conductor of electricity are compounds that allow electricity to pass through. They are metallic and sometimes ductile and malleable. Very common is iron. The most metallic element is francium.
Does ductile refer to gases?
Ductility is a physical property associated with most solid transition metals, not gases. It refers to the ability of a solid to be stretched into wire. For example copper is very ductile and a good conductor, so it's often used as electrical wiring.
Is the element silicon ductile?
No, it is a semi conductor so it is not ductile.
Which property is not a general property of metal ductile poor conductor of heat malleable high luster?
poor conductor of heat
What are silvers properties?
it is a good conductor of electricity endure extreme temperature ranges malleable and ductile best conductor of heat and electricity
Which is not a characteristic of most metals brittle good conductor ductile malleable?
Most metals are not brittle.
Properties of silver?
It is very ductile and malleable. It is also the best metal conductor of heat and electricity.
What is the English derivative of the root ducit?
There are a lot:reduce, ductile, conductor, abduct, deduct... pick your favorite.
How can you tell if something is metal?
Properties of metals:- They are malleble, they are shiney, they are ductile and have to be a good conductor of heat and electricity
Copper is used to make electric wire because it is a good what?
ductile. You must have the same worksheet as I do.
Is silver a good conductor of heat and why?
All metals are good conductors off electricity in their pure form. So yes, in comparison to other metals, generally the more to the left of the periodic table and element is the better the conductor.
What is the conductor of electricity?
Conductor of electricity are compounds that allow electricity to pass through. They are metallic and sometimes ductile and malleable. Very common is iron. The most metallic element is francium.
What are some characteristics and properties of Tin?
Well, since tin is a metal on the periodic table of elements it would have to be: Shiny malleable ductile a good heat conductor a good electrical conductor
What is the mechanical properties of copper?
Copper is ductile, malleable, and a good conductor of heat. It also has good brazing and soldering properties.
