What else can I help you with?
Why do you call metals as poor conductors?
Metals are called poor conductors in comparison to materials such as copper and silver because they have higher resistivity, which hinders the flow of electrons or electricity through them. Poor conductors like iron and steel are less effective at conducting heat and electricity due to their atomic structure and electron mobility.
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.
Are nonmetals poor conductors of heat and electric current?
Yes.
Which property is associated with metals dull shiny brittle or poor conductor of electricity?
Metals are associated with being shiny and good conductors of electricity. They are typically not dull, brittle, or poor conductors of electricity.
Why is selenium a poor conductor?
Selenium is a non metal, and non metals are poor conductors due to the lack of free electrons or ions.
What you call poor conductors?
Insulators.
Are poor conductors of heat poor conductors of electricity?
Yes.

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.
Which of the following is a characteristic of nonmetals?
- lower density- lower hardness- lower melting point- lower boiling point- some nonmetals are gaseous or liquidsetc.
What is poor conductors called?
insulators
Are good or poor conductors better emitters?
good conductors are better emitters
What group of elements are poor conductors of heat and electricity?
most non ferrous materials are poor conductors with exceptions
What nonmetals in the solid state are poor conductors of heat tend to?
Nonmetals in the solid state tend to be brittle and poor conductors of heat.
Why molecular compounds are poor conductors?
molecular compounds are poor conductors because they do not break up into ions. Hope this helps and I'm not to late:)
What are some conductors of heat?
Gold, diamond, rubber, and glass are poor heat conductors.
