No. Metals are the best conductors because they have the least resistance. That's why they are used in batteries. Alkaline cells are named so because they use alkali metals in their compositions.

What can conduct heat and electricity but are not the best conductors?
nonmetals
What distinguishes nonmetals from metals?
metals are shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are dull and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
What nonmetals in the solid state are poor conductors of heat tend to?
Nonmetals in the solid state tend to be brittle and poor conductors of heat.
Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
Some nonmetallic materials are good conductors, graphite being an example. In this form, it is considered a semi-metal for that reason. Normally, however, nonmetals are not good electrical conductors.
Nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
no
Which of the following is a characteristic of nonmetals?
- lower density- lower hardness- lower melting point- lower boiling point- some nonmetals are gaseous or liquidsetc.
What are nonmetals that are intermediate conductors of heat and electricity?
Semiconductors
Are metals and nonmetals both good conductors?
no because metals conduct heat and electricity well, but nonmetals do not
Is a metal and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
Are nonmetals poor conductors of heat and electric current?
Yes.
What is the difference between metals and nonmetals in regards to how they conduct electricity?
Metals generally are good conductors of electricity, and nonmetals are not.
