Is solder conductive?
A Conductor, SOLDER IS NOT AN INSULATOR. The most common types of solder are made of tin and lead. Another type is silver solder. All of the materials used are metals and are good conductors of both heat and electricity. If you solder something you would notice if you ever held a wire (without protection) while applying solder to it your finger would probably receive a burn (speaking from experience).
Tin and lead mixed together makes what?
solder--its an alloy used 4 joining metals
Special property of solder?
Solder has a relatively low melting point, and it wets many different metals allowing it to be used to join (solder) them together. It is also fairly resistant to corrosion when the correct solder alloy is applied to the work. We see a lot of solder used in electrical and electrical applications, so it's a fairly good electrical conductor.
What are most used elements?
The most commony used elements would be precious metals such as gold and silver. Copper, steel, uranium and fluorine are also commonly used.
What elements are malleable and ductile?
Almost all metals are ductile. Most of them are commonly used in our life. Copper and aluminum are commonly used for making wires but the most ductile metal is gold. A wire of about 2km can be drawn from a piece of 10g of gold.
Which two metals are most commonly used to make a knifes blade?
The two most common metals used to make knives are steel and iron.
Which metals are usually used for forgings?
The most commonly forged metals are carbon steel and alloy steel.
What 2 metals are the most commonly used to conduct electricity into homes?
Copper and Aluminium
What is soder used in?
Soder is a form of solder and is used in copper pipe fittings for an air tight seal, these are most commonly used on heating systems in British homes.

What elements are used in computers because they have properties of both metals and non metals?
Silicon and germanium semiconductors are most commonly used in memory and logic chips.

usually a mixture of tin and lead metals are used

What is the silver content of silver solder?
Solder is manufactured in hundreds of different grades and compositions for thousands of different applications. Solder that might be described as "Silver solder" is most commonly commercially manufactured in about 50 different compositions with silver contents of up to 40% and is priced accordingly. Silver solder is often used in jewellery making and repair, engineering and many electrical manufacturing processes.
Why do you think the most commonly used metal objects of transitional metals rather than alkali metals or alkaline earth metals?
Alkali and alkaline earth metals are too chemically reactive to stay in metallic form.
