Poor conductors of electricity include plastics, woods and gases, in other words, anything that is not a metal.
Poor conductors of heat include foam, air and some fabrics, such as felt.
Which kind of poor conductor do you mean? Poor conductors/insulators include wood, plasctic, polystyrene foam, fabric, gas or anything that is non-metal.
Not necessarily. Nichromium is a combination of the metals nickel and chromium. Is is a fairly poor conductor.
Plastic for example is a poor conductor because it is an insulator. Plastic is made up of a substance that dose not allow the flow of electrons.
Materials which contains 5 6 or 7 electrons in its outermost shell.

∙ 12y agotough to answer - since nearly all metals are considered at least "good" conductors (though some are considered poor when compared to other metals, most metals - if not all - are fair conductors of electricity), i'd have to say any conductor that has a considerably high resistance to electrical current flow compared to a metal. since nearly everything will conduct when there's a high enough voltage present, i'd say if it's not a metal, or an electrolytic solution, it's probably a poor conductor. it really depends on your definition of "poor". does poor mean not able to run a circular saw over a distance of 500 feet, or poor mean it requires 8000 volts to overcome the surface resistance of a given "conductor"?

anything that is an element and is poor with electricity is a nonmetal

Which property is associated with metals dull shiny brittle or poor conductor of electricity?
They are shiny!
Is usually a gas or brittle solid that is a poor conductor of electricity?
metalloid
Why was pig iron brittle?
It is a poor material because it is very brittle. This is caused by its high carbon content. It is a poor material because it is very brittle. This is caused by its high carbon content.
Is sulfur brittle in its solid phase and a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
Yes, it is true.
What are properties for nonmetals?
Nonmetals are very dull looking and are easily broken compared to a normal piece of metal. Nonmetals have high ionization energies and electro negativities. They are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity.Solid nonmetals are generally brittle, with little or no metallic luster. Most nonmetals have the ability to gain electrons easily. Nonmetals display a wide range of chemical properties and reactivities.
Which property is associated with metals dull shiny brittle or poor conductor of electricity?
They are shiny!
What does non-metal mean?
A nonmetal is an element that tends to be dull, brittle, and a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
What are the signs and symptoms of poor nutrition?
poor dry skin, dull brittle hair, brittle nails, pale
Are insulators dull brittle and poor conductors?
Insulators are conductors
Is usually a gas or brittle solid that is a poor conductor of electricity?
metalloid
Elements that are usually dull in appearance and poor conductors of heat and electricity?
There are 17 nonmetals in the periodic table, and they are characterized by four major physical properties. 1. They rarely have metallic luster. 2. They are usually gases at room temperature. 3. Nonmetallic solids are neither malleable nor ductile. 4. They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

Yes, it is true.
What is an element that is brittle and a poor conductor?
Nonmetals are elements that are brittle and dull.
What physical and chemical properties are found among the nonmetals?
Most nonmetals are poor conductions of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. Solid nonmetals are dull and brittle.
Is an element that is brittle and dull?
a nonmetal because a metal is shiny and strong so a nonmetal is brittle and dull
What 3 properties do all nonmetals have in common?
gain electrons, poor conductor of heat, poor conuctor of energy, brittle like solid, nonmetalic color
