Astatine is not a good conductor of electricity. This is because it is a non-metal. All non-metals do not conduct electricity, and all metals do. The two exceptions are carbon and silicon, which are non-metals, but conduct electricity well.
Metals usually have characteristic(s) of at least one of the following: luster, shine, malleable, ductile, and conducts electricity. Non metals don't conduct electricity and are usually brittle.
Metals usually have a characteristic lustre, so you can often tell just by looking. The metals conduct electricity when solid, and non-metals, with the exception of graphite, do not. Metals react with oxygen to give basic oxides, whereas non-metals give acidic oxides.
Bromine is a liquid at room temperature, and it is located in group 7 of the periodic table, i.e., it is a halogen. It is a non-metal and thus is a poor conductor of both electricity and heat.
Almost everything is a good conductor of sound, but a conductor of heat and electricity are usually only metals. A nonmetal can be an insulator, or something that doesn't conduct things, for heat and electricity.
Mainly metals. All metals are fairly good conductors. Some non-metals can conduct electricity, as well.
conduct electricity
Graphite is a non metals which conducts electricity well.Also there are electric conducting non metal.Also many liquids conduct electricity.Semi conductors like Silicon,Germanium also conduct electricity.

Metals conduct electricity; non-metals do not.
no
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
Because they do not conduct electricity <><><> Sorry- above answer is DANGEROUSLY incorrect- ALL metals conduct electricity- gold and silver especially. However, non-reactive metals do not tarnish or rust- they stay pretty.
metals conduct heat, transmit electricity, and are usually ductile. non-metals do not conduct heat well, do not transmit electricity and can't be hammered into shapes. noble gases cannot combine with any other elements.
The group of elements that do not conduct electricity are generally called non metals.
Most non-metals are in fact considered to be non-conductors. Some non-metals however do have the ability to conduct heat and electricity.
Metals like Copper, Iron Steel conduct electricity. Wood, rubber mats, most plastics either conduct electricity very badly or not at all. Metals are conductors, Wood is a non - conductor
