What are the electrical properties of metal?
good conductors of heat bad insulators low resistence high conductivity
Why salt is needed to conduct electricity?
Ultrapure water is a bad conductor; you need a salt, which form ions, to increase the electrical conductivity.
What are three non-metal properties?
bad conducter of heat bad conducter of electricity not reflective not bendable not mallable enough for you?
Is plastic a good electrical conductor or insulator?
Plastic is made out of organic (carbon based) molecules which hold on to their electrons rather than contributing them to a common pool as metals do. Hence you do not get the kind of electron mobility needed for electrical conductivity.
Is zinc a good or bad conductor?
About all we can do is compare zinc to some other metals. Zinc isn't a terrible conductor, but it isn't the greatest, either. Perhaps it might be best to classify it a fair as regards electrical conductivity. Here is a list of just a few metals and their electrical conductivity as "just a number" to make comparison easy: Aluminum 59Brass 28Copper (annealed) 100Gold 65Lead 7Mercury 1.66Platinum 15Silver 106Tin 13Titanium 5Tungsten 28.9Zinc 28.2 Zinc isn't great, but it isn't at the bottom of the list, either.

Is any metal good conductor of heat but bad conductor of electricity?
Dear Asker,Is this a personal question? I believe it is. There is no metal that is a good conductor of heat but bad conductor of electricity. Why? Its because both conductive properties in metals comes from the reason that metals have free/mobile electrons. The more mobile electrons you have, the better conductor you are. Copper have a heat conductivity of 400 W/(m.K) while it have a electrical resistance of 1.68×10−8 ρ (Ω•m). It has high heat conductivity and low electrical resistance, just second to silver, which have a heat conductivity of 430 W/(m.K) while it have a electrical resistance of 1.59×10−8 ρ (Ω•m).sincerelyJet

How are metalliods different from metals?
Metalloids have some properties similar to properties of non metals; metalloids have bad thermal and electrical conductivity, they are brittle, soft etc.

Plastic is made out of organic (carbon based) molecules which hold on to their electrons rather than contributing them to a common pool as metals do. Hence you do not get the kind of electron mobility needed for electrical conductivity.
Are bad conductors of electricity used to cover electrical wires?
No, materials with a high insulation value factor are used to cover electrical wire to provide a barrier from the wire shorting out to ground. By using the term "bad conductors" states that there is conductivity to a degree.
Why is Styrofoam a good insulator?
Styrofoam is a very porous material; air from the closed pores has a bad thermal conductivity.
Is styrofoam a good insulation?
Styrofoam is a very porous material; air from the closed pores has a bad thermal conductivity.
10 example of good and bad conductor of heat?
There are many uses for thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity can be used to heat things like water and gasses are typically poor conductors.
