∙ 11y agoThere are no non-conductive metals. What makes something a metal is that it has electrons that are free to move about its volume rather than being bound to a particular atom, and that is also what makes metals conductive, so conductivity in metal is unavoidable.
Certainly, some are less conducive than others. The least conductive metal is plutonium at 6.66x10-4 Ω·cm. This is about 10 times better than the most conductive non-metalic element, carbon, at 6.1x105 Ω·cm. (Carbon, in turn, is about 300,000 time more conductive than the next best non-metal, tellurium.)
Alloys tend to be less conductive than pure metals. There may be some alloys less conductive than carbon (but not less than tellurium.)

What are the names of the major categories of elements on the periodic table?
metals, non metals, metaloids
How do you name two non metals?
al2 o3 aluminium oxide
What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
Why do nonmetals not have their own name instead of being not like metals?
They do have their own names! The periodic table is actually split up into far more groups then just the metals and non-metals. The groups actually are as following: The Alkali metals The Alkaline earth metals The Lanthanides The Actinides The transition metals Other metals (all of the above are collectively grouped as the metals.) The Metaloids (these can neither be definitely grouped as metals or non-metals as they share properties of both.) Other non-metals The Halogens The Noble gases (these are collectively grouped as non-metals.) The reason for the fact that the collective groups being known as just the metals and non-metals is most likely due to the fact that there are far more metals, so it is more likely that these were discovered and then named first. There is no strong definition on what is a metal or non-metal, however, non-metals can generally be defined by having a negative valence whereas metals have a positive valence.
Where are the metals and non metals on the periodic table?
metals on left, non-metals on right, some others in middle.
What are the names of the major categories of elements on the periodic table?
metals, non metals, metaloids
Names of metals and non-metals?
See the periodic table at the link below.
How many non metals are there and the names?
There are seven non metals -Hydrogen -Carbon -Nitrogen -Oxygen -Phosphorus -Sulfur -Selenium
Which element change their names when they form compounds?
non metals . you change the ending of the non metal to "ide"
What are the names of the non metals?
Hydrogen, Oxygen , Phosphorous, carbon, nitrogen, fluorine, neon, helium, chlorine and sulfur are all non-metals. they are all gases.
When naming ionic bonds the non metals' ending is changed to what?
When naming ionic compounds, the non metals' ending is changed to "-ide". "Ionic bonds" do not have particular names.
Are halogens metals or non non-metals?
Non metals
How do you name two non metals?
al2 o3 aluminium oxide
Classes of elements?
Metals, non metals and metaloids (which have some of the properties of both metals and non metals).
Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
Are most of the element metals or non metals?
Non metals
