I forgot what was a science connection, which I learned last year. Now, for my science homework, I have a science connection question... Please help.

Why is radium and barium good conductors of heat and electricity?
All the metals are good conductors of heat electricity, but the differences between the values are very important.
What is the difference between conductive and non-conductive?
Conductive materials: they are good conductors of heat or electricity. Nonconductive materials: they are not good conductors of heat or electricity.
What is metal in science?
Metals are generally good conductors of electricity because of the freedom of their valence electrons.Hope this Help! :)
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.
What is the difference between a good science and a bad science?
good "science" or a good experiment can always be repeated with the same result
Is a metal and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
Does plastic transfer heat easily?
Basic Answer:Electrical insulators do not conduct electricity and are are typically among the poorer heat conductors.Good electrical conductors are metals and metals are typically very good heat conductors.Complicated Answer:The term "insulator" is hardly appropriate in reference to thermal conductivity if one means to say that the material has low thermal conductivity. The difference between good thermal conductor and poor thermal conductors is a factor of perhaps a hundred or for extremely different materials such as air (very poor) and diamond (excellent) is a factor of 100,000. That is modest compared to the difference between poor conductors (rubber) and excellent (copper) which is a factor of a billion billion billion.The connection between good heat conductors and good electrical conductors is a reliable but not a law of nature. Good electrical conductors are good thermal conductors due to the fact that electrons participate in both processes. Nearly free electrons are the reason metals are electrical conductors and contribute a large part of the thermal conductivity. (Diamonds are a peculiar exception.)The connection between poor electrical conductors and poor thermal conductivity is less good and really only a consequence that the electrons are not there to help out.
Are glass and rubber conductors?
Glass and rubber are not good conductors of electricity.
Good conductors have a high resistance or low?
Good conductors have low resistance
Are high density materials good electric conductors?
They are good electrical conductors.
Are good or poor conductors better emitters?
good conductors are better emitters
What are two good conductors?
Metals are good conductors of electricity, two of the best conductors are silver and copper.
