Which properties have all metal in them?

All metals have metallic bonds; also generally metals are more hard than nonmetals, with higher melting and boiling points, with better thermal and electrical conductivities etc.


What is the unit of Lorentz number?

The unit of Lorentz number is watts per kelvin squared (W/K^2). It is a physical constant that relates the thermal and electrical conductivities of a material at a specific temperature.


Does copper loose electrical conductivities when heated?

no it does not, because it conducts heat and electricityAnswerThe word you are looking for is 'lose', not 'loose'! And the answer is yes. The resistivity of copper increases with temperature, so raising its temperature will cause its resistance to rise or, if you prefer, its conductivity to fall.


Different objects dont heat at the same rate because they have different what?

Different objects heat at different rates because they have different thermal conductivities. Thermal conductivity is a material property that determines how well heat can transfer through a material. Objects with higher thermal conductivities will heat up more quickly than those with lower thermal conductivities.

Would tin be a good conductor?

Tin does conduct electricity, but it is only 15% as conductive as copper. See related link for a table of metals and their electrical conductivities. If you meant heat conductivity, then it is about 18% as conductive as copper. I'll post a link to that, as well.


What are some elements that have higher thermal conductivities than copper?
