What is the only non metal that is a good electrical conductor?
Carbon in the form of graphite is used as an electrical conductor (the brushes in electric motors)
Is silver an electrical conductor?
Silver is very good conductor of electricity. It is better electrical conductor than copper. Silver is not commonly used as it is much expensive element.
What are some characteristics and properties of Tin?
Well, since tin is a metal on the periodic table of elements it would have to be: Shiny malleable ductile a good heat conductor a good electrical conductor
Is sulfur a better conductor than carbon?
No, carbon in the form of graphite is a good conductor of electricity. Sulfur is not an electrical conductor.
Why is liquid mercury a good electrical conductor?
It is a metallic element
What substances would be a good electrical conductor?
Al(s)
What would be a good electrical conductor?
Al (s) apex
The only nonmetal that is a good electrical conductor?
That would be water.
Which would be the best insulator carbon or silicon or aluminum or oxygen?
Oxygen. Carbon as diamond is a good electrical insulator, (graphite is an electrical conductor), silicon is a semiconductor so has limited electrical conductivity and aluminium is a metal and a good electrical conductor.
Would a copper pipe work better as a conductor or an insulator?
Copper is a good conductor, that's why it is used to make electrical wire.
Is nitrogen a conductor of electricity?
Nitrogen is not a good electrical conductor.
Copper is a good electrical what?
Conductor
Is oxygen a good electrical conductor?
NO.

Is iodine a good electrical conductor?
No
Is Styrofoam a good electrical conductor?
No
Is a pencil an insulator or conductor of electricity?
Note: "electricity" is not conducted, only electrical current (the flow of electrons) is. Electricity is the field that covers all things electrical. The wood in a pencil is an insulator. If it is wet, it is a poorer insulator, but only a poor conductor. The carbon (lead) in the pencil is a poor conductor. The metal holding the eraser is a good conductor. The rubber eraser is a poor conductor. You really have to address the conductivity of specific substances, not items that are build from a variety of substances.
