What else can I help you with?
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.
Is conductors of heat and conductors of electricity the same thing?
Sometimes. Metals will conduct both heat and electricity. Glass will conduct heat but not electricity.
What is the difference between a metal a nonmetal and a matalloids?
Metals are elements that are shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, and ductile. Nonmetals are elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity and are brittle in solid form. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals and can exhibit characteristics of both.
Which substance are usually good conductors of heat and electricity?
Metals are usually good conductors of heat and electricity.
Shows properties of a metal and a nonmetal?
Metals are typically shiny, malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat and electricity. They tend to lose electrons easily when forming compounds. Nonmetals are generally dull in appearance, brittle, poor conductors of heat and electricity, and gain electrons easily when forming compounds.
Metals are conductors of heat and electricity?
Yes, but some metals are better conductors than others.
Are poor conductors of heat poor conductors of electricity?
Yes.
Good conductors of heat and electricity?
Metals such as copper, silver, and aluminum are good conductors of heat and electricity due to their free-moving electrons that can carry both heat and electrical charges efficiently. Additionally, materials like gold and iron are also good conductors of both heat and electricity.
How are solid nonmetals different from metals?
Solid nonmetals tend to be brittle, have lower melting/boiling points, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Metals, on the other hand, are generally malleable, have higher melting/boiling points, and are good conductors of heat and electricity.
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.
A gaseous element is a poor conductor of heat and electricity and is extremely nonreactive Is the element likely to be a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
No it would be a group 18 element (helium, neon, argon, xenom, krypton or radon). These are unreactive, gaseous non-metals, which don't conduct heat or electricity at all well.
Why conductors conduct heat and electricity while insulators are known as poor conductors?
Conductors conduct heat and electricity well because they have delocalised electrons in their structure. Insulators, on the other hand, do not have delocalised electrons and therefore do not conduct heat and electricity as a conductor, although they do conduct to some extent.
