All metals conduct electricity and heat. Zinc is a good electric conductor and it is also fairly cheap compared to other conducting metals.
No, Zinc is a conductor of electricity.
Polystyrene is a better insulator. It is often used as insulation on houses.
ceramic
Yes... Especially pennies because of the copper in them. Most coins are made of metal: nickel, copper, iron or steel. Some rare and expensive ones are made of nearly pure gold and silver. All the metals are good electricity conductors.
No. Zinc, like all metals, is a good conductor of heat and electricity.

Yes it is.
No, Zinc is a conductor of electricity.
zinc, iron
Zinc is a fair conductor of heat, this is due to it's low melting point. And please don't assume that if it's a metal is a good conductor heat and electricity, thank you. Cristobal Carrillo
Conductor
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. Copper is a very good conductor of electricity.
plastic, steel, zinc, and carbon
Polystyrene is a better insulator. It is often used as insulation on houses.
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.
