Graphite.

You might have come across experiments using a pencil to complete a simple circuit to check if a bulb glows and you might have observed that it does.

The graphite in the lead of the pencil is what helps conduct electricity.

What else can I help you with?

Good conductors of electricity are often good conductors of heat?

Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.


Are non-metals good conductors of electricity?

No, they are not good conductors of electricity. Graphite is an exception as despite being a non-metal it conducts electricity. Only metals are good conductors of heat as well as electricity.


When a metal reacts with a nonmetal are the substances good conductors of electric current?

It depends on the nature of the metal-nonmetal compound formed. Metal-nonmetal compounds, known as ionic compounds, are usually poor conductors of electric current in solid state due to the lack of free-moving electrons. However, when dissolved in water or melted, they can conduct electricity due to the presence of mobile ions.


What is the difference between a metal a nonmetal and a matalloids?

Metals are elements that are shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, and ductile. Nonmetals are elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity and are brittle in solid form. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals and can exhibit characteristics of both.


Are good conductors of heat good conductors of electricity?

They aren't necessarily good conductors of both (like diamond, which is a good conductor of heat, but not electricity) Graphite is one that is both, but most of them are metals.
