Why can transition metals be used to make electrical wires?
Their high conductivity is why transition metals are used to make electrical wires.
Which elements in the periodic table can be drawn into thin wires?
Malleable
Why are transition metals used to make electrical wires?
Because of thier high conductivity
What are the mixtures in fuse wire?
tin lead alloybasically tin lead allows are used . but other metals which have low melting point and appropriate resistivity can be used
Is wire metal?
Metal wires are single strands of flexible material often used to carry electrical currents, telecommunication signals, and hold mechanical loads.

Which metal used in fuse wires?
Apparently mainly tinned copper is used in fuse wires. I have heard that there are a lot of other metals used as teh fuse wire though!
Why are metals wires used to carry current?
Because metals are conductors.
Which elements in the periodic table can be drawn into thin wires?
Malleable
Why non metals cannot be drawn into wires?
They are not ductile. Metals are ductile which means that they can be drawn into wires, while non-metals are usually not.
Why do you usually choose copper for wires and not other metals?
Copper is used because of its higher conductivity. Although silver has more conductivity then copper but it is not used because of its cost, however silver is used in some specialized equipments such as satellites. Copper or any other metals conductivity properties is based on its electronegativity. Generally, all metals must have low electronegativity and ionization energies. But all metals do not have the same electronegativity levels.

Why metals can be drawn into wires?
Metals can be easily drawn into wire because they are malleable. These metals are also really wonderful conductors which is why they are picked for wires.
What element is used to make a mixture solder used in joining wires?
usually a mixture of tin and lead metals are used
Is wire metal?
Metal wires are single strands of flexible material often used to carry electrical currents, telecommunication signals, and hold mechanical loads.
Is copper conductor or insulators?
Conductor, which is why it's used for wires.
