What is an element that is neither a good conductor or a good insulator?
silicon, which is a semiconductor.
Is air a good conductor of electricity?
Air is a relatively-very-poor electrical conductor. If it were any good as a conductor,then you would need to keep your spare batteries in vacuum containers, to preventtheir becoming discharged through the air between their terminals.
What does it mean if something is a good conductor?
A good conductor is a substance that will easily carry loose ions, also known as electricity. Many metals are good conductors. Conductors have many modern applications. Any wire that carries an electrical current has to be a conductor of some sort. On the contrary, substances that do not conduct electricity are known as insulators. Rubber is a very common insulator.
Why is silver a good thermal conductor?
Silver is a good thermal conductor as it's a metallic element with many free electrons available for heat transfer.
Ability to conduct heat?
metal is a good conductor :)
Is a shiny element element a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Yes, this is mostly true. It starts to become untrue near silicon.
Is air a conduction?
Air is a good conductor of sound, and a poor conductor of heat and electric current.
What is shiny element good conductor of thermal energy and electric currents?
a metal
Why is a melted ionic compound is a good conductor of electric current but a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor of electric current?
Upon melting, the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.

What metal is a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
aluminum, copper,
What shiny metal is a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Tranition metals
Is the tap water a good electrical conductor?
Tab water is a conductor of electric current but not a good one due to low degree of ionization of water. But if it has significant amount of salts then it will be a good conductor.
What element is a good conductors of thermal energy and electric current?
a metal
What is an element that is not a good conductor and good isolator?
It is a semi conductor
What type of element was aluminum?
Aluminium is a light weight metal having atomic number 13 placed in the 3rd period and having 3 valence electrons. It is a good conductor of heat and electric current and it does not corrode.
Would a copper wire act as the best insulator of electric current?
no it is good conductor because it has free electrons
