Is mercury the planet an example of superconductor?

Pure mercury will exhibit superconductivity at 4.2 degrees Kelvin. It was the first superconductive material that H. Kamerlingh Onnes found in 1911.


Is technetium a good conductor of electricity?

Electrical conductivity is 6.7 Ms/m (mega-siemens / metre) which is approximately the same as 1010 carbon steel. Technetium, cooled to a few degrees above absolute zero, becomes a superconductor. Please see the links.

What is the best way to conduct electricity?

With a superconductor. Even better with a room temperature super conductor, of course you'll have to make hydrogen metal for that.


Will the volume of metal decrease if it is heated?

No, the volume of a metal increases as it is heated. It expands.


Is a superconductor a metal or nonmetal?

Only a few of the materials that have been supercooled have become superconductors, and not all of those are metals. There have even been some organic superconductors discovered.


Metal conducts electricity better as it becomes what?

As a metal becomes colder, it generally conducts electricity more efficiently.

What is a supperconductor?

A metal is said to be a superconductor if it has some resistance at room temperature, but when it is brought down to a critical temperature; i.e. to a very low temperature such as 20 K, it loses its resistivity completely. Also, a superconductor expels out any magnetic field inside of it that it had at room temperature, and is not affected by any further field applied to it at its cooler temperature.


Which is an example of a superconductor?

A superconductor is a material with extremely low resistance to an electrical current. Many are metals or the like which have been supercooled to temperatures approaching absolute zero. Examples are mercury, lead and tin
