What are two good conductors?
Metals are good conductors of electricity, two of the best conductors are silver and copper.
Which two metals are the best for carrying electricity?
silver, 62 million Siemens / metercopper, 58 million Siemens / metergold, 44 million Siemens / meteraluminum, 37 million Siemens / meterAfter those four conductivity drops rapidly.
What are the two things metal can conduct?
All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.
What sample of matter are the best conductors?
Metals are generally the best conductors of electricity due to their free-flowing electrons that allow for the easy movement of electric charges. Copper and silver are two examples of metals known for their high conductivity.
When you pass heat which metal will produce electricity?
No single piece of metal will produce electricity when heated. You will need two different metals, mechanically touching. When the join between the metals is heated, it will produce electricity, dependant on the metals used. This is known as a 'thermocouple'.
Name two metals that do not conduct electricity?
Mercury and bismuth are two metals that do not conduct electricity. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature and bismuth has a high electrical resistance, which restricts its ability to conduct electricity effectively.
Is astatine a good conductor of 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.
How can electricity be made by using two different metals?
Electricity i.e. a battery, can be made by taking two different metals (maybe that's where your confusion came in) - for example, copper and zinc, and submerging them into a an acid solution (like vinegar). Or you can take those same to metals and stick them into a lemon. If you put a volt meter on the two different metals you will measure a small, but noticeable, current. But to answer your queston, you will not make electricity by rubbing two pieces of metal together.
Why metal is the best conductor of heat and electricity?
You have configuration of the elements. There can be eight electrons in the outermost orbit of the element. The metals have one, two or three electrons in the outermost orbit. So they want to give away those extra electrons. These are free electrons. These free electrons make the metals good conductors of heat and electricity.
What are two things metals are good at conducting?
Depending on the metal, heat and electricity are two main things that metal are good at conducting.
Are alloys conductors of heat and electricity?
Yes, most alloys are good conductors of heat and electricity. This is because alloys are made by mixing different metals together, which creates a structure that allows the flow of heat and electric charge more easily compared to pure metals.
What are 2 charactistics of non-metals?
Metals and Nonmetals have specific characteristics. Two characteristics of Nonmetals are typically brittle and do not shape easily, and they do not conduct heat or electricity well.
