Differences between conductors and insulators?
Conductors let energy (such as electricity and heat) flow through them easily while insulators do not.
Good conductors of electricity are often good conductors of heat?
Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.
Good conductors of heat and electricity?
Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
What are some conductors for heat?
All metals are good conductors of heat.
What are some good conductors and bad ones?
Good Electrical conductors: All metals, ionic substances (in solution or molten form) Bad Electrical conductors: Water Good Heat conductors: All Metals Bad Heat Conductors: Water
Why is radium and barium good conductors of heat and electricity?
All the metals are good conductors of heat electricity, but the differences between the values are very important.
Differences between conductors and insulators?
Conductors let energy (such as electricity and heat) flow through them easily while insulators do not.
What is the difference between conductive and non-conductive?
Conductive materials: they are good conductors of heat or electricity. Nonconductive materials: they are not good conductors of heat or electricity.
Good conductors of electricity are often good conductors of heat?
Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.
Good conductors of heat and electricity?
Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
What are the differences between a metal substance and a non-metal one?
Metals are good electrical and heat conductors. They are malleable, ductile, and generally solid at room temperature. Nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity. They form brittle solids and are nonductile. They are generally liquids or gases at room temperature.
What are some conductors for heat?
All metals are good conductors of heat.
What makes something a good conductor of heat?
Good heat conductors are drinking glass.
Which substance are usually good conductors of heat and electricity?
Metals are usually good conductors of heat and electricity.
Does magnesium conduct heat and electricity?
Yes. Magnesium is a metal and all metals are great conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are not good conductors and metalloids are in between.
Are good conductors of heat good conductors of electricity?
They aren't necessarily good conductors of both (like diamond, which is a good conductor of heat, but not electricity) Graphite is one that is both, but most of them are metals.
Why is metal a heat conducter?
because it's a good heat conducter Electric conductors tend to be good heat conductors, but the above seems reasonable.
