All metals are solids and good conductors apart from Mercury which is a liquid but is a good conductor.
What else can I help you with?
Are solids good source of conductivity?
Some solids are good conductors, some are not.
What are Solids called that are good at moving heat from one end to the other?
conductors
Are all insulators and conductors solids?
No, insulators and conductors can be found in various states of matter. While many are solids (such as metals being conductors and plastics being insulators), there are also liquid and gaseous substances that can exhibit insulating or conducting properties.
A characteristic of most nonmetallic solids is that they are?
they are NOT good conductors of heat and they are brittle solids.
What is true about most metals?
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. They have a metallic luster. All the metals are solids except Mercury.
Are solids sound conductors?
yes they are
What are the characteristic metals?
They are good conductors of heat and electricity. They have a metallic luster. All are solids except mercury.
Solids that are good at moving heat from one end to the other are called?
Materials that can conduct heat are called good conductors of heat and electricity. Most of the time, these materials are metals. Nonmetals are not good conductors of heat.
Do all solids conduct heat and same rate?
No, not all solids conduct heat at the same rate. Some solids, like metals, are good conductors of heat, while others, like plastics and wood, are poor conductors. The rate of heat conduction depends on the material's properties, such as its density, structure, and composition.
What are the properties of a metal?
Most metals are solids at room temps. They have a luster (shine) and are good conductors of heat and electricity. They are mallable and ductile.
Are all metals conductors of heat?
We normally associate metals with solids (at room temperature) -- mercury being one exception. All materials, solids or fluids, can conduct heat. However, not all solids are good conductors, but most metals are. I don't know about sodium, a metal, though, because it disintegrates in room air -- not practical to do a controlled experiment to prove about it being a good heat conductor or not. However, since those solids that are classified as a metal for the reason that each metal has free roaming electrons, which can be transport heat, and since solids also have phonons (lattice vibrations), sodium can conduct heat too (at least for the first mini-seconds of being exposed to air) -- just don't know whether sodium is a good heat conductor if it stands alone. BTW, mercury is a good heat conductor too. ===========================
