What else can I help you with?
What are materials that are poor conductors of electricity called?
They are insulators.
Materials that are poor conductors are what?
normally called insulators
Are poor conductors of heat poor conductors of electricity?
Yes.
What is another word for poor conductors of heat and electricity?
These are called insulators.
Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity and break easily are called?
nonmetals
Why do you call metals as poor conductors?
Metals are called poor conductors in comparison to materials such as copper and silver because they have higher resistivity, which hinders the flow of electrons or electricity through them. Poor conductors like iron and steel are less effective at conducting heat and electricity due to their atomic structure and electron mobility.
Why are alloys poor conductors of electricity?
Alloys are a combination of two or more elements. Not all alloys are poor conductors, in fact many are used specifically as conductors.
What is a good conductor of heat called?
Metals are good conductors of heat. Plastics and wood are very poor.
What are some poor conductors of heat?
Poor conductors of heat are generally also poor conductors of electricity. These would include most gases, ceramics and man-made plastics. A vacuum will not conduct heat either.
Which of the following is a characteristic of nonmetals?
- lower density- lower hardness- lower melting point- lower boiling point- some nonmetals are gaseous or liquidsetc.
What you call poor conductors?
Insulators.
Are good or poor conductors better emitters?
good conductors are better emitters
