What else can I help you with?
Materials that are poor conductors of heat?
Materials that are poor conductors of heat are Plastic and Wood "example."
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.
Are poor conductors of heat poor conductors of electricity?
Yes.
What is a good conductor of heat called?
Metals are good conductors of heat. Plastics and wood are very poor.
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.
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.
Do poor heat conductors of heat conduct heat?
no...i think it's not entirely no. if it's a poor heat conductor then its heat conduction process decreases compared to a good heat conductor.
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.
What are some conductors of heat?
Gold, diamond, rubber, and glass are poor heat conductors.
Which materials are good or bad conductors of heat?
metals are good conductors of heat, i.e. iron, steel,... non-metals are bad, i.e. carbon...
Do poor conductors produce more heat then the relatively good conductors?
Most of the metals are effective conductors of heat.They conduct heat without much loss in energy and quickly.Copper, silver are among best conductors of heat.metals are good conductor of heat.
Elements that are poor conductors or heat such as bromine?
Bromine is a poor conductor of heat as it is a nonmetal with a low thermal conductivity. This means it does not readily transfer heat energy. Metals like copper and aluminum are good conductors of heat due to the mobility of their electrons, which allows for efficient heat transfer.
