What do metallic bonds explain about the properties of gold?
Gold is a shiny, ductile material which is a good conductor of electricity and heat. All of these can be ascribed to its metallic bonds. What can't be explained so readily is its relative inertness and its color as metals are generally more reactive than gold and the majority are silvery white
Does calcium carbonate increase specific conductivity of water?
yes
What is the difference between specific conductance and conductivity?
me too searching!!
What are the intensive and extensive properties of copper?
If you want actual values, you'll need to be more specific, I'm not about to list hundreds if not thousands of properties in the hopes that one of them is the one you want.It's probably more useful to discuss what the two terms mean. "Intrinsic" properties are those that are characteristic of the material itself ... it doesn't matter (within reason) how much of the material there is. Intrinsic properties are things like melting point, boiling point, color (sometimes), heat capacity, atomic/molecular mass, and so on. "Extrinsic" properties are those that depend on the "extent" of the material ... that is, how much there is of it. Mass, weight, and volume are extrinsic properties (though in some cases, dividing one extrinsic property by another can give you an intrinsic property again ... mass divided by volume yields density, an intrinsic property).
What are some physical properties of a mineral?
7 Properties include: Hardness, luster, streak, cleavage, density, color, and fracture.
What specific property of metals accounts for their unusual conductivity?
Outermost orbital shell of a metal has very few electrons with corresponding values of energy. This specific property accounts for the unusual electrical conductivity of metals. Highest conductivity occurs in metals with only one valence electron.
Kinds of physical property?
Density, hardness, melting point, boiling point, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, mechanical properties, magnetic properties, refraction index and other optical properties, specific heat capacity, etc.
What influences radiational cooling?
Properties of the material such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, and emissivity, and the temperature of the surroundings.
What physical properties are size indepentent?
There are very many. Some are:Density (and specific gravity), electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, boiling point, latent heat of vaporisation, melting point, latent heat of melting, elasticity, malleability, ductility, electronegativity (though that could be considered a chemical property), temperature.
What are the roles of the 5 properties of water?
Water has very many properties: mass, density, colour, odour, refractive index, specific heat, electric conductivity, thermal conductivity, and so on. There is nothing in the question which clarifies which 5 properties you are interested in. Consequently, the question cannot be answered.
What is conduct electricity means?
The ability of a material to conduct an electric current is termed as ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY. Generally, ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY is the ratio between ELECTRICAL FIELD STRENGTH and the CURRENT DENSITY of the conductor. The unit is Sm-1. It is also known as SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE. ELECTRICAL CONDUCIVITY = (ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY)-1 The unit of ELECTRICAL CONDUCIVITY is ohm- meter.
What is the effect of density on conductivity?
*Electrical conductivity or specific conductivity [sigma] is a measure of a material's ability to conduct an electric current. When an electrical potential difference is placed across a conductor, its movable charges flow, giving rise to an electric current. The conductivity σ is defined as the ratio of the current density J to the electric field strength E : J=Sigma.E
Specific conductivity of water in power plants?
Specific conductivity is a measure of the ability of water to conduct an electrical current. It is highly dependent on the amount of dissolved solids (such as salt) in the water. Pure water, such as distilled water, will have a very low specific conductance, and sea water will have a high specific conductance.
What characteristic of water accounts for properties of adhesion cohesion high specific heat and nature as a solvent?

What is the difference between specific conductivity and cation conductivity?

If a metal has a high specific heat capacity does that mean it is a better electrical conductor than one that has a low specific heat?
Whether or not a substance is a conductor is not an indicator of its specific heat. This applies to either an electrical conductor or a thermal conductor. There is generally no direct correlation between a substance's ability to conduct electricity or heat and the specific heat of that substance.
