Nickel and Platinum are good conducters of electricity as the metal atoms are so large that the outer electron shell is very far away from the nucleus. The positive charge on the nucleus pulls the electrons into a cloud around it. If the distance between the positive and the negative electrons is very high, the strength of attraction betweem them would also be very weak.

Is kerosene good conductors of electricity?
no
Why is a solution of a strong acid a good conductor of electricity?
Strong acids are good conductors of electricity because they are strong electrolytes, which means they ionize more completely, therefore strong electrolytes are good conductors of electricity.
Are copper sulphate crystals good conductors of electricity?
no
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.
A characteristic of most nonmetallic solids is that they are?
they are NOT good conductors of heat and they are brittle solids.
2 example of a good conductors?
Any metal, such as gold, silver, nickel, platinum, iron.
Are tungusten and platinum conducts electricity?
All metals will have plenty of electrons in conduction band. Hence Tungston and Platinum are good conductors of electricity as they are metals. S.Lakshminarayana.
What are some good conductors of heat?
Copper, aluminum, gold, iron, silver, lead, tin, platinum, nickel and tungsten.
Is a nickel insulator or conductor?
A nickel will conduct electricity. So is not an insulator.
Is true Metals are not good conductors of electricity. An electrolyte solution conducts electricity. Wood is a good conductor of electricity. Nonmetals are good conductors of electricity.?
1. Metals are good conductors of electricity.2.An electrolyte solution conducts electricity.3. Wood and nonmetals are not good conductors of electricity.
Good conductors of electricity are often good conductors of heat?
Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.
Are glass and rubber conductors?
Glass and rubber are not good conductors of electricity.
Good conductors of heat and electricity?
Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
What are the examples of conductors?
Generally metals and ions (in solution) are good conductors of electricity. Eg. iron, copper, nickel, molten sodium chloride, aqueous sodium chloride etc.
Are the metal good or bad conductors of electricity?
All metals are pretty good conductors of electricity.
Do nickels conduct electricity?
Yes. US nickels are made of copper and nickel, while Canadian nickels are made of plated steel, all of which are good conductors of electricity.
Which substance are usually good conductors of heat and electricity?
Metals are usually good conductors of heat and electricity.
