Is a metalloid a good conductor?
NO, a metalloid is not a good conduct of heat. -UND34D ASSASSIN
Which is a better conductor of electricity copper or silicon?
Silicon is only a semiconductor. Copper on the other hand is used to make wires and is an excellent conductor of electricity.
Is steel a conductor or an insulator?
Yes Every metal is a conductor because of the free electrons (Except Silicon and Germanium; They are semi-metals) Yes, steel is a conductor
Which element is a semi-conductor of electricity?
Most conductors conduct both heat and electricity well. A semiconductor is a conductor whose resistance is between that of a conductor and an insulator. An example of a semiconductor is silicon which is used in electronic appliances
What is a good conductor of energy?
Silver is most conducting element,but copper is better.
Why is silicon a good conductor of electricity?
Silicon is not a good conductor. It is a semiconductor.
Is silicon a good heat conductor?
no sillicon is not a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Why is silicon a good heat conductor but a poor electrical conductor?
Metals are actually good conductors of both heat and electricity... but silicon is a semi-conductor. Unlike metals, which are good electrical and heat conductors, crystalline solids such as diamond and semiconductors such as silicon are good heat conductors but poor electrical conductors. This is their nature... you can't change it :-)
What is a good conductor that begins with the letter s?
silicon
What is an element that is neither a good conductor or a good insulator?
silicon, which is a semiconductor.
Does silicon dioxide conduct electricity?
Yes its a good conductor
Is silicon a good conductor of elecricity?
No. Silicon is classed as a semiconductor. Meaning it has a moderate ability to conduct electricity.
Is a shiny element element a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Yes, this is mostly true. It starts to become untrue near silicon.
Why is silicon a better semiconductor than germanium?
Silicon is a good semi conductor than germanium because silicon is more readily available, cheaper and stable.
Is germanium a good conductor of electricity?
Germanium is a good conductor because it is between silicon and tin, its a metalloid. Tin can conduct electricity and so can germanium
Is silicon rectifier a good conductor or good insulator?
It's a good conductor of current flowing in one direction, and a good insulator when current tries to flow in the other direction.
Is a metalloid a good conductor?
NO, a metalloid is not a good conduct of heat. -UND34D ASSASSIN
