Because of the molecules they are made up of. Some metals contain atoms that flow nicely together so that heat just zips through, but others (especially composite metals like brass or steel) make the heat sort of 'bounce around" off the molecules, taking longer to heat up. Diamonds and crystals are the best for conducting heat because it just goes right through, doesn't bounce off anytrhing. Other good metals are copper and tin
Some metals do conduct better than others.
Silver is the best conductor for electricity and heat. But because the price for siver is expensive, we usually use copper (electricity), iron (heat), and aluminum (both).
well because the particle theory, the conduction makes the conductors have small particles or big so the big ones move faster so they are conductors and the small ones are the insulators
I think that they are because they r to some people and it is not a fact about it is aperson oppion
metals can conduct electricity better than non-metal due to partially filled 3d orbital and also 4s orbital and also because of high charge and small atomic size
The number of free electrons in a given volume is different for each metal; many electrons is good conductivity.
Electrical insulators are made from materials that are poor conductors of electricity. Metallic elements are good conductors, non metallic elements are poor conductors. Some materials used as insulators are, paper, glass, ceramics, rubber and plastics.
ANY material reflects light. Some do so better than others.
The Materials are of three kinds:- Conductors- Semiconductors and- InsulatorsThe Insulators have the property to stop the flow of electricity, because they have less number of free electronics... by: gloria & tatiana
No, some materials (water, for example) conduct electricity and are incapable of becoming magnetic.
Most substances fall into two categories - conductors and insulators. Conductors are those which electricity can pass through relatively easily. Metals are the usual example, but other substances such as graphite and polar liquids such as water are also good conductors. Insulators are poor conductors: those that electricity cannot pass through easily. Most plastics are insulators. Some substances fall in between: these are semiconductors, which allow electricity through in some instances, but not in others. This property makes them very useful in electronics. Some substances can be such good conductors that, under some circumstances, they can allow electricity to pass through them with no resistance at all. These are called superconductors.
Everything - it wouldn't conduct at all otherwise. Some materials conduct better than others, like the conducting wires.
Yes, but some metals are better conductors than others.
All metals can conduct electricity, though some better than others.
Every material transmits sound. Some better than others.
well because the particle theory, the conduction makes the conductors have small particles or big so the big ones move faster so they are conductors and the small ones are the insulators
metals like iron and copper These are good conductors of both heat and electricity.
They are bad conductors ,they do not allow heat transfer.
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
Materials that heat-up faster are known as conductors. Silver, Copper, Gold and Aluminium are some conductors that have the ability to transfer heat.
Electrical insulators are made from materials that are poor conductors of electricity. Metallic elements are good conductors, non metallic elements are poor conductors. Some materials used as insulators are, paper, glass, ceramics, rubber and plastics.
