if you know chemical bonding it is easier to understand but any substance that doestn contain charge carriers is a poor conductor of electricity i.e. a substance that doenst contain free moving electrons or ions to propagate the current

Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity are?
All Non-Metals are poor conductor of electricity.
Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity and break easily are called?
nonmetals
What material does not allow light to pass through is a good conductor of heat but not a good conductor of electricity?
Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity. Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity.
Elements that are intermediate conductors of heat and electricity?
semiconductors
What are some poor conductors of heat?
Poor conductors of heat are generally also poor conductors of electricity. These would include most gases, ceramics and man-made plastics. A vacuum will not conduct heat either.
Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity are?
All Non-Metals are poor conductor of electricity.
Why are alloys poor conductors of electricity?
Alloys are a combination of two or more elements. Not all alloys are poor conductors, in fact many are used specifically as conductors.
Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity and break easily are called?
nonmetals
What group of elements are poor conductors of heat and electricity?
most non ferrous materials are poor conductors with exceptions
What are some elements that are dull and are poor conductors of heat and electricity?
anything that is not of metal or liquified
What type of elements would not be a good choice for use in electrical wiring?
Nonmetals would not work because they are poor conductors of electricity
Are poor conductors of heat poor conductors of electricity?
Yes.
What does an electrical insulator have?
Electrical insulators are made from materials that are poor conductors of electricity. Metallic elements are good conductors, non metallic elements are poor conductors. Some materials used as insulators are, paper, glass, ceramics, rubber and plastics.
Does sulfur conducts heat?
Sulfur is a nonmetal and nonmetals are poor conductors of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. So no
Are coins good or poor conductors of electricity?
Coins are made of metal and metals are good conductors of electricity.
Is a poor conductors of electricity and heat?
yes
What are materials that are poor conductors of electricity called?
They are insulators.
