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.
Nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
no
What can conduct heat and electricity but are not the best conductors?
nonmetals
What are nonmetals that are intermediate conductors of heat and electricity?
Semiconductors
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.
Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
No, nonmetals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity. This is because they do not have freely moving electrons that can carry the heat or electric charge effectively. Metals, on the other hand, are good conductors due to the presence of delocalized electrons.
Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity and break easily are called?
nonmetals
Is this true or false Nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
False. Nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity compared to metals. This is because nonmetals have fewer free electrons available to carry an electric current or transfer thermal energy.
Are metals and nonmetals both good conductors?
Metals are generally good conductors of electricity due to their free electrons that can move freely within the material. Nonmetals are poor conductors of electricity because they lack free electrons for efficient conduction.
Name two physical properties of nonmetals?
Well, nonmetals are opaque and brittle. They are also bad 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.
Is an animal a nonmetal?
Animals are considered to be nonmetals, because they can not be easily reshaped and are good conductors of heat or electricity.
