carbon rods are good at conducting electricity because of the electrons in its outer shell. the electrons move easily. graphite and carbon rods are the only conducters which are not metal

Would a silver coin conduct electricey what kind of bonds does silver have?
Yes a silver coin can conduct electricity, Silver is one of the most commonly used to conduct electricity. Yes, silver is a very good conductor of electricity
Why does carbon conduct electricity if it is a non metal?
Carbon is used as a conductor in many applications. One common conductor, automotive spark plug wires, is actually a carbon impregnated chord. A common problem in high voltage electrical systems, such as automotive ignition secondary circuits, is "carbon tracking". A distributor cap, for example, may arc from one terminal to another, leaving a carbon track behind. The current will now follow that carbon path very readily and this is one reason secondary circuit (high voltage) components have to be replaced periodically.
Does grease conduct electricity?
Typical grease off of food, plant based cooking or baking oils do not conduct electricity. However, dielectric grease,usually found in car shops,and used in car repairsÊdoes conduct electricity.Ê
What 3 properties may be used to identify ionic compounds?
HardnessCation and an anionCan't conduct electricity
Is Nickel nitrate an acid?
nikel is an acid,because it is used in making car barteries which contain acid to conduct electricity
Does a pencil conduct electricity?
Yes the center carbon or lead can conduct electricity. The carbon in the pencil is also used in resistors for resistance in a circuit.
Can Carbon conduct electricity?
dose carbon dioxide conduct electricty
Will used engine oil conduct electricity as it carries a high percentage of carbon?
It would contain sufficient carbon, acids, and water as to render it quite unsuitable for a transformer oil. But probably only the sludge component would contain sufficient carbon to conduct useful quantities of electricity.
Does silicon carbide conduct electricity?
Does it have a Photovoltaic affect? Ive seen this in a pdf . Diamond Gives off a charge when rubbed "Carbon" and silicon makes electricity in the sun. So I think the conduct electricity. They however have large resistance to electricity and produce extreme heat eg Atkinson Furnace Carbon electrodes and Silicon used in pc components and electrical devices like resistors.So combining them should conduct electricity Jono
Why can't glass conduct electricity?
Everything can conduct electricity. However, glass can only conduct electricity on a very small scale, so it cannot be used to conduct enough electricity to run anything electrical.
Explain why graphite conduct electricity but silicon carbide does not?
Because graphite has one free electron that is not involved in bonding. The one delocalized electron can be used to conduct electricity. However silicon carbide is tetrahedrally bonded to 4 carbon atoms. There is not free electrons in the arrangement. With no delocalized electron, silicon carbide is unable to conduct electricity.
Why are carbon rods used in some batteries?
electrodes
What is bronze use of?
it is used to conduct electricity
Does satin conduct electricity?
Silk, yarn and many other threads used in a satin weave do not generally conduct electricity.
What is an element that doesn't conduct electricity as well as a metal but does conduct electricity better than a nonmetal called?
(not possitive, about this, but since I last checked my periodic table there were only 3 types of elements, so this makes sence.) A metaloid Carbon in graphite form is used for resistors. Carbon in diamond form has much the same property but is so expensive they are not used for this application. Certain crystal structures of Boron have interesting conductivities.
What is quartz mostly used in?
It is used to conduct electricity and mostly used in electrical appliances
Would a silver coin conduct electricey what kind of bonds does silver have?
Yes a silver coin can conduct electricity, Silver is one of the most commonly used to conduct electricity. Yes, silver is a very good conductor of electricity
