The element mercury is one of the poorest conductors of the elemental metals. The alloy nickel-chromium (Nichrome) is very resistive and is used to construct the heating elements in many appliances incorporating a thermal source. Saying that a metal is a "bad conductor" can only be supported by a comparison. As thermal or electrical conductivity was not specified, we can only say that in metals, the effectiveness of a metal in conducting one is generally an indication of its effectiveness in conducting the other. Metals that conduct electricity well also usually conduct heat well.

Copper wire is an example of what?
A Reddish metal, a good conductor of electricity and heat, ductility, tensile strength, malleability, and good, clean fun!
Which is an example of a conductor?
Pretty much any metal will conduct electricity. Some common examples are copper, gold, iron, silver, aluminum, lead, etc.This also includes humans.See the Related Questions for the best ones.
Is glass or metal a better conductor?
Glass has a higher conductivity than thin plastic but,it is still lower than metal so metal may be a better conductor
Is nonmetals a semiconductors?
Graphite is a non metal conductor.
What does bad conductor mean?
there are no good or bad conductor there are conductor ,semiconductor and isolator.
What is a example of a conductor?
metal
What is good example of a conductor?
metal
Is Bad conductor of heat properties of a a metal?
No.
Is aluminum a good or bad conductor of heat?
Being a metal, it is a good conductor.
Why is glass a bad conductor of electricity?
there is no metal to conduct to.
What example of conductor?
I'd say metal and iron.
Sulfur is a bad conductor of what?
electricity! Because it is a non-metal
Is arsenic metal or non metal?
arsenic is a non-metal because it is a poor and bad conductor of heat and electricity
What is an example of a conductor for conduction?
A metal spoon touching a hot pan. The pan heats the spoon. The spoon serves as a conductor of heat. This is an example of conduction.
What the uses of good and bad conductors of heat with an example of each?
A good conductor of heat is metal as it has free electrons that can also carry Energy aswell as the partials themselves. This can be used for a radiator so the room can be heated. A bad conductor of heat is polystyrene. This can be used for plastic cups so the drink stay hot longer.
What is the only conductor that is not metal?
Water is a conductor that is not metal.
Is metal hanger a conductor or insulators?
conductor its metal
