Why is magnesium the worst conductor of electricity?
An ionic compound, such as magnesium chloride, has no overall charge in its solid state and does not conduct electricity.
Are non-metals the worst conductors?
No actually something like water is a good and fimiliar conductor but to get down to the science water is H2O. Two hydrogen atoms (hydrogen is a metalliod which is between metal and non-metal but is considered to be more non-metal) and one oxygen atom (oxygen is a non-metal) both together make H2O which is water and is a great conductor (but not as good as some metals are).
What metals are not ductile?
They are GALLIUM and CAESIUM that can even melt if we keep them on our palm.
What metal has a low thermal conductivity?
The metals which are less reactive and not very shiny are generally less conductive than others.These metals generally have low melting and boiling points. The above result has been proven but still it is not true for all the metals,i.e,there are certain exceptions.Eg)mercury is good conductor of heat but not that good conductor of electricity.But there is no need to remember the conductivity of different metals,you just need to know some of the best conductors and some of the worst ,that's all.
Which type of metal is the worst conductor?
The worst metal conductor of heat is very probable bismuth with a thermal conductivity of 7,97 W/m.K.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aluminum conducts heat brilliantly, which is why it is used for most heat sinks and cooling fins, along with copper, another brilliant conductor of heat.--------------------------------------------------------------
What is the worst conductor of electricity?
The last time I checked the worst conductor of electricity is rubber.
Tell the best and worst conductor of electricity?
The worst conductor would be rubber and the best metallic conductor would be silver
What is the worst conductor of electricity and why?
I believe that rubber is the worst conductor of electricity. Rubber is amorphous. The atoms within the rubber are not aligned in any particular order, so electrons do not move between them easily. In fact, rubber is used to protect against being shocked by electricity, by having wires be covered by the rubber.
Why is magnesium the worst conductor of electricity?
An ionic compound, such as magnesium chloride, has no overall charge in its solid state and does not conduct electricity.
What material conducts electricity the worst?
There are many materials that do not conduct electricity well...among the most popular and widely used of these materials is RUBBER
Why is aluminum the worst heat conductor?
Aluminium is a good conductor of heat.
Is iron the worst conductor of heat?
No.
Would a copper pipe work better as a conductor or an insulator?
Copper is a good conductor, that's why it is used to make electrical wire.
What are the worst conductor?
the worst conductors of heat are wood, plastic, rubber, and cloth.
Which liquid or oil is bad conductor of electricity?
The worst conductor of electricity is pure distilled water. Water, being a nearly universal solvent, typically has a good amount of soluble minerals (electrolytes) in it. It is these soluble materials in water that actually conduct electricity through the water. Generally speaking, a lead/acid battery will not work without the addition of sulfuric acid electrolytes to conduct the current between the cell plates.
Which type of matter is the worst insulator?
As a rule, the best conductor.
Are non-metals the worst conductors?
No actually something like water is a good and fimiliar conductor but to get down to the science water is H2O. Two hydrogen atoms (hydrogen is a metalliod which is between metal and non-metal but is considered to be more non-metal) and one oxygen atom (oxygen is a non-metal) both together make H2O which is water and is a great conductor (but not as good as some metals are).
