Only eighteen elements in the Periodic Table are generally considered nonmetals, compared to over eighty metals. Although nonmetals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity when compared to metals, many of them still can conduct electricity. The metalloid elements (such as Silicon and Germanium) can conduct electricity and are used as semiconductors in electronics. Many generally nonmetal compounds (composed of nonmetals) can also conduct electricity, with gallium arsenide, and silicon carbide being popular components in semiconductors as well.
I think its carbon aka graphite and water is the one non metal which conduct electricity .. by the way any element can conduct electricity if high voltage is given :)
water is not a good example because it is a compound not a non metal
graphite is a non metal and also good conductor of electricity.this is an exeption in physical properties of metals
Graphite is a good non-metal conductor of electricity. It uses three electrons to bond and has one free electron which can carry charge.
A non-metal that conducts electricity is called a semiconductor.
Graphite Graphite
Graphite, a form of carbon
graphite can.
Mainly metals. All metals are fairly good conductors. Some non-metals can conduct electricity, as well.
An insulator is something that does not conduct electricity. Therefore, this is impossible.
Which fibre? Plant fibers, such as cotton or paper are poor conductors. Glass fibers are non-conductive. Metal fibers conduct very well.
Generally non metals are poor conductors of electricity as they do not have free electrons. One notable exception is graphite where there is delocalisation of electrons which gives rise to conductivity. The metalloids such a s silicon are semiconductors, in their case exciting electrons into what chemists would call "antibonding" orbitals but physicists call conductance bands allows limited conductivity.
Non-metal element while elements that don't conduct are called isolators
Carbon can conduct electricity reasonably well and is a non-metal.
Carbon (graphite) will conduct electricitySilicon metallic will conduct electricity
Astatine is not a good conductor of electricity. This is because it is a non-metal. All non-metals do not conduct electricity, and all metals do. The two exceptions are carbon and silicon, which are non-metals, but conduct electricity well.
yes. For instance graphite or silicon.
Generally not. However, some forms of carbon, which is a nonmetal, do conduct electricity. This is the exception rather than the rule.
almost every non-metal is like that
a poor conductor of electricity is never a metal because metals have low ionization enthalpies and thus electrons can be easily mobilized.
No, methanol does not conduct electricity. It does not conduct electricity because it is a non-electrolyte molecule. Sugar also is non-electrolyte, therefore it also does not conduct electricity.
Graphite is the only non-metal exception that can conduct electricity. Hence, even though graphite is a non-metal, it is used in batteries.
no it doesnt because chlorine is a non metal so it wont conduct an sort of commnicatio especially electriciaty.
We all know that in solid electrons are carrier of electricity while ions are carrier in liquids.but note that some non-metal can conduct electricity like graphite an allotrope of carbon. Firstly, there are non metals that can conduct electricity (ionic compounds), except they have to be dissolved to do that.
Because it is a non metal and does not conduct electricity
