Are most metal elements brittle and don't conduct electricity?
No, it would be a nonmetal. Metals are usually malleable and do conduct electricity well.
What liquids conduct electricity?
Water, Mercury, Gasoline and Oil derivatives. or probabily any acidic liquids exept vinegar
Is a water a conductor or an insulator of electricity?
Pure water, that is to say without any other substances, actually does not conduct electricity. Water with impurities, on the other hand, does conduct electricity. Since water is usually impure, common water conducts electricity.
Why does a pineapple conduct electricity?
Biological materials, such as this one, will usually conduct electricity due to ions in the liquid. Since an ion has an electrical charge, and is relatively free to move around, it can conduct an electrical current.
How does the ability to conduct heat differ between metal and nonmetals?
A metal is a chemical element that is a good conductor of both electricity and heat and forms cations and ionic bonds with non-metals. Cations are usually formed by electron loss.
What type of material conducts electricity?
materials that usually have an extra or unpaired electron in their outermost orbital of its atom conduct electricity
Which elements don't conduct electricity?
there is no element that can't conduct electricity, only elements that do it well and others that don't do it so well. Rubber is a very poor conductor of electricity, while copper, silver and gold are very good conductors.
Do materials that conduct heat also tend to conduct electricity?
Usually, yes.
Does an iron nail conduct electricity?
Yes they do, they have approximately .3 volts of conductivity.
Explain why do copper and iron conduct electricity?
Well metal elements are usually the best conductors of electricity
Does nitrogen conduct electricty?
Not usually. With a sufficiently high voltage, however, nitrogen can be caused to ionize and then can conduct electricity.
What elements usually have the ability to be stretched bent and conduct electricity?
The metal elements.

What elements are not malleable and do not conduct electricity?
Insulators. Their valence electrons are tightly bound because the valence shell is close to full or full. Since each shell can only only hold a certain amount of electrons, the number of electrons depends on which shell is the outer or valence shell.
Does magnetite conduct electricity?
Rock is generally an insulator. Note that the color of a rock is usually not a good indicator of is composition of properties.
