nonmetal
Both Electricity and Heat are forms of energy. If an element were a poor conductor of both it would simply mean that particular element was a poor conductor of energy.
An insulator is a poor conductor of energy. For example; Rubber is a poor conductor of electricity Rock is a poor conductor of heat A sponge is a poor conductor of sound.
This element is a metalloid.
Non-metals in general do not conduct electricity or other forms of energy as well as metals do. Helium would be an example.
Yes, it is a horrible conductor of energy.
No, the element sulfur (S) is not shiny and is not a good conductor of heat. Sulfur is a non-metal and is typically a yellow, brittle solid at room temperature. It is a poor conductor of heat due to its molecular structure, which does not allow for efficient transfer of thermal energy.
The element you are referring to is likely gold. Gold is a shiny and malleable metal, but it is a poor conductor of electricity compared to other metals like copper or silver.
If an element is a poor conductor of heat, it is most likely a nonmetal. Nonmetals generally have lower thermal conductivity compared to metals, which are good conductors of heat.
No. Copper is a good conductor of both electricity and heat.
Samarium is a good conductor for heat and electricity.
Sulfur is a poor conductor of electricity and heat due to its electron configuration and molecular structure, which restrict the movement of electrons.
