What is the characteristics of alkaline?

* alkaline metals contain the higher melting and also the boiling points. * These metals are present in the earths crust which does not have a basic form. * Alkaline earth metals are distributed in structure which is named as rock. * These metals have density which is low. * Alkaline earth metals have low electron affinity and as wells as low electronegativity. * One of the basic characteristic is, it contains two electrons in their outer shell.


Is metal low conductivity?

No, metals have high conductivity but has low resistivity.


How many Alkaline and Alkali Metals are there?

Six alkali metals and six alkaline earths.


Do wires that have high resistivity have high conductivity also?

No. In fact it is the opposite. Conductivity is the reciprocal of resistivity so a high resistivity means low conductivity. peace.


Is resistivity of a good conductor high or low?

The resistivity of a good conductor is low. Good conductors have a low resistance to the flow of electric current due to their high conductivity, allowing electricity to pass through easily.


What is it called if a material conducts easily?

Can resistivity be negetive?

No, resistivity cannot be negative. Resistivity is a material property that indicates how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is always a positive quantity, even though some materials may have very low resistivity values.

What is resistivity on what factor is depends?

Resistivity is a measure of a material's ability to resist the flow of electric current. It depends on factors such as the material's composition, temperature, and dimensions. Materials with high resistivity impede the flow of current more than those with low resistivity.
