Is silver a better conductor than gold?
Yes,Silver is a better conductor than gold
Who is better than Apollo?
His father, Zeus, is the more powerful thus 'better'.
What new kinds of metal are found now?
I think we've found all the metals that exist naturally at this point, so any "new" metals will be things that we develop or invent rather than "find".But on that point, engineers are constantly developing new alloys and combinations of materials to produce metals that have the properties needed for specific applications.
How have rockets improved?
they have a better engine than before
Can bats see in the dark better than humans?
yes.
Are transition metals better conductors than alkali metals?
transition metals
Metals are conductors of heat and electricity?
Yes, but some metals are better conductors than others.
Is salt water a better conductor of electricity than aluminum foil and brass?
YES Metals are better conductors !
Does metal conduct more heat than plastic?
Yes, metals are better conductors of heat than plastic.
Why are some kinds of metals conductors of electricity and some are not?
All metals can conduct electricity, though some better than others.
What makes metals hot?
metals are good conductors this means that energy can move throgh them better than say plastic or insulation
What characteristic of copper and aluminum causes them to be good conductors and what is the effect of this?
they are metal wrong wrong~! Pure metals are better than mixed metals
What are the similarities and differences between metals and metalloids and non metals?
The electrons in a metal can leave the atom and move about in the metal as free electrons. While atoms in non-metals are bonded. Heat energy is passed along by vibartions as the bonds between the non-metals atoms are shaken. Conduction in metals is faster than in non-metals. Making metals good conductors and making non-metals poor conductors.
Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
Some nonmetallic materials are good conductors, graphite being an example. In this form, it is considered a semi-metal for that reason. Normally, however, nonmetals are not good electrical conductors.
Do ceramics expand more or less than metals?
Less.Less.Less.Less.
Does solid silver conduct electricity?
All metals do. Silver is one of the best conductors - better than copper in fact.
Are all types of metal conductors?
All metals conduct heat and electricity. Some metals e.g., gold, copper conduct electricity better than others.
