Which class of elements have both the properties of metals and non metals?
Conducts heat and electricity very poorly.
Substance which conduct electricity but not heat?
Most of the metals are good conductors of both electricity and heat. However, silver conducts heat very poorly. Substances made out of silver like silver spoon will not conduct much heat.
What does NAP mean on a Material Safety Data Sheet?
It might mean "not applicable," but if so it is a very poorly written MSDS. Abbreviations and contractions should be explained or not used.
What is the heat of aluminum?
You question is very poorly worded, It is difficult to tell what it is you want to know. On the simple basis the heat of Aluminum would depend on it mass and how much energy you put into it - )how much you have heated it) On a more precise basis the figure below will tell you how much energy you need to put into it to heat it up: The specific heat of Aluminum is 0.91 kJ/kg oK
What is Another term for poorly buffered precipitation?
Acid Rain
What material conducts thermal energy poorly is a?
thermal insulator
Material that condscts thermal energy well?
a conductor does, while an insulator poorly conducts thermal energy!
What material conducts electric current poorly?
An element that conducts heat and electrcurrent poorly, and can be a solid, liquid, or gas is a(n)nonmetal.
What poorly transfers in thermal energy?
Thermal energy poorly and slowly transfers in liquids
What material poorly conducts thermal energy?
Thermal energy is the internal energy of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium by virtue of its temperature. A hot body has more thermal energy than a similar cold body, but a large tub of cold water may have more thermal energy than a cup of boiling water. Thermal energy can be transferred from one body, usually hotter, to a second body, usually colder, in three ways: conduction , convection, and radiation. Insulator
A material that conducts heat poorly is a good?
Insulator
What is a material that conducts electricity poorly?
An insulator. (i.e. glass)
How well a material conducts heat?
The property of a substance called the thermal conductivity indicates how well or how poorly a substance conducts heat. Insulating materials have a thermal conductivity around 0.02 to 0.08 Btu per hr - ft - F degree. A good conductor of heat like steel pipe has a thermal conductivity of about 24 Btu per hr - ft - F degree.

What is the name of an element that conducts heat and electricity poorly?
an insulator
How do you use thermal conductivity in a sentence?
Thermal conductivity involves the movement of energy while the as a whole is still. Gases are said to have low thermal conductivity, as they transfer heat poorly. Metals have much better thermal conductivity, as they will heat up and cool down relatively quickly.
Is it termal energy if you ride a bike?
Not really. You'll get a bit of heat(thermal energy) in brakes, poorly maintaned bearings and in the rider's muscles - but that's all just unavoidable losses, and isn't helping the ride at all.
