A material you are testing conducts electricity but cannot be pulled into wires. It is most likely a?
- It is not a ductile metal or- It is not a metal
Conducts electricity in solid state metal or nonmetal?
Metal, nonmetals are extremely poor conductors. Think copper wires.
Is to pipes as electricity is to wires?
water/liquid
How do you differentiate a metal from a nonmetal using instrument?
A metal conducts heat better than a nonmetal. If you put a metal and a non-metal in boiling water for the same amount of time, the metal will be hotter than the non-metal. If you put a metal and non-metal in ice water for the same amount of time, the metal will be colder than the non-metal. Also, metal conducts electricity better than non-metal. You can use metal and non-metal wires to conduct a battery, and see which one works better.
Why are electrical wires made with metals chemical bonds?
It's partly a convention of terminology; similar items are made from plastic or fabric and they are called "string" or "strands".You may be asking why metals are used for electrical wiring; that's because metals are conductors - that's almost a definition of what a metal is - metallic elements have surplus electrons and conduct electricity.

What is a material you are testing conducts electricity but cannot be pulled into wires?
Gold is the material that conducts electricity but cannot be pulled into wires. This is unlike the other materials like aluminum, copper and steel.
What metal is usually used for wires in electric circuit?
Copper. Because 1, it is A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY, AND 2, IT IS A MALLEABLE (BENDS EASILY) METAL.
Is to pipes as electricity is to wires?
water/liquid
How do you know if an object is metallic?
There are certain obvious characteristics of metal that once cant miss. Every metal conducts heat and electricity. All metals can be molded into wires and thin sheets.
What is copper metal used for?
Pipes, wires.
Is copper a metallic or nonmetallic element?
It is metal as it conducts electricity and it is on the left side of that big black line in the periodic table. It is in fact used in wires for it's conductive properties.

Why are electrical connections usually made of copper wire?
Copper conducts electricity well and costs less then most other metals. It is also a very pliable metal which means it can be made into sheets or wires easily.
