What is the most important property of the metalloid?
The most important property of metalloids is that they are god and bad conducters of heat and electicity and have good and bad amount of metalic shine. the conducter one is more important though
What materials change by heat?
Many materials such as plastic melt and some materials burn such as wood
When is it useful not useful to heat materials?
If you are stuck with metal for example you can heat it
Why is plastic foam a poor conductor of heat?
Actually, plastic is not a bad conductor of heat and electricity, it's an insulator. An insulator is a substance that resists the flow of heat or electricity through it and plastic resists both of these.
These materials are good conductors of heat?
Metals
What are bad conducters of heat?
You want materials with a low thermal conductivity. Wikipedia has a nice list:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thermal_conductivities
What are nonmetals sometimes called because they do not conduct heat and electricity well?
bad conducters or poor conduct of heat and light energy
What are good materials for conducters?
fiberglass
What does heat slowly pass through?
poor conducters of heat
What scientific name is given to materials that allow heat to travel along them?
Materials that allow heat to travel along them are known as conductors. Conductors have high thermal conductivity, allowing heat to pass through them easily.
What are good conducters of heat?
Metals and some ceramics.
What elements are good conducters of heat?
most metals are good conductors for heat.
Are metals good conducters of heat and electrical current?
yes
Are non metals conducters?
they are poor electricity and heat conductors
Which elements in the periodic table are better conductors of heat?
The better conducters of heat are the metals
Why are pans made from different metals?
because different metals are better and worse heat conducters
Witch metals are conducters?
All metals are good conductors of heat and electricity except Mercury
