By definition, a solid metal, including liquid Mercury, in its elemental form should conduct electricity. Under what condition a metal cannot conduct electricity? Normally when a metal is oxidized, the result is highly resistive, but then the oxide film (such as rust) is no longer considered metallic.
Some metals, such as sodium, don't normally exist in its elemental form in nature. If these metals are somehow kept out of trouble (air), they too should conduct electricity.

What are the two things metal can conduct?
All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.
Which metals do not conduct electricity?
all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others
What are elements that conduct electricity classified as?
These elements are metals.
What elements are nonconducting?
if you mean the conduction of electricity then.... all non-metals do not conduct(excluding carbon which does conduct) all metals conduct although some conduct better than others
Can anythang besides metal conduct electricity?
All wires conduct electricity, since wire is always made of metal, and all metals are conductors. Copper is preferred though, as it has the highest electrical conductivity rating of all non-precious metals. It is also very ductile when annealed, so can be drawn into wire of anything down to sub-millimetre diameters. Other metals are used for other properties. Aluminum wire has a higher conductivity to weight ratio and lower cost, for instance.
What are the characteristics of the lanthanides?
They are silvery metals that conduct electricity.
What are the two things metal can conduct?
All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.
Which can conduct electricity metals or non-metals?
Mainly metals. All metals are fairly good conductors. Some non-metals can conduct electricity, as well.
What metal can't conduct electricity?
all metals can conduct electricity
Which metals do not conduct electricity?
all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others
What metals insulate electricity?
Metals actually conduct electricity, not insulate them. Some metals conduct better than others, but the point is that metals don't insulate heat or electricity at all.Glucose rubber cold glass and water
Will metals conduct electricity in liquid form?
Yes, metals will conduct electricity in liquid form because of the free electrons.
What characteristic of a metal allows it to conduct electricity?
The physical properties of different metals make them useful for different purposes in metals can move through the metal, allowing metals to conduct electricity.
What is indium ability to conduct electricity?
indium can conduct electricity. all metals can.
Can metal conduct electricity?
Yes metals can conduct electricity due to the free electrons in metals that can move through the metal. Metals are soft and have a low melting point causing it to be reactive.
Which metals conduct electricity when in solid?
Zinc and other metals
What do metals do more easier then non metals?
conduct electricity
