What else can I help you with?
Is gold or copper the first best conductor of electricity?
Copper is a better conductor of electricity than gold.
What is a better conductor of electricity copper or gold?
Copper is a better conductor of electricity than gold. This is because copper has more free electrons available for conducting electricity due to its electron configuration. Gold has fewer free electrons, making it less conductive than copper.
What heats up quicker copper gold air or water?
Gold. Metals conduct heat (and electricity) very efficiently, and gold is a better conductor than copper is.
Is gold a thermal conductor?
Yes, it is. It is better than aluminum, but not as good as copper. Aluminum is often used in heat sinks, though, because it is cheaper than gold or copper.
Why do gold and copper conduct electricity better than carbon and iodine?
because they are metals
Does copper conduct electricity better than gold?
Yes, it does! Pure copper is a much better electrical conductor at normal operating conditions. Gold plating is used in electronics and cables because of it's corrosion resistance. I'm not really sure why though. Silver is cheaper than gold, and oxides to silver oxide, which is still a better conductor than gold. pure silver is the best naturally occurring conductor, followed by copper followed (not very closely) by gold.
Do electron charges move easily through most electrical conductors?
A conductor, by definition, allows electrical current flow. Some better than others, gold better than copper, copper better than aluminum, etc.
Is Zinc more active than Gold?
Copper is a better conductor than gold cause it has a lower resistivity, but copper forms an oxide layer in atmospheric conditions, which interferes with the flow of electrons, whereas gold doesnt form an oxide layer, meaning it allows far better surface contact and allows the electrons the flow much easier if you get what im getting at?
What are good sentences for the science word conductor?
Gold is a better conductor of electricity than copper.
Will gold replace copper from copper sulfate solution?
No, gold will not replace copper from a copper sulfate solution through a displacement reaction. Gold is less reactive than copper and cannot displace it in a chemical reaction.
Is copper more reactive than gold?
Even though gold and copper are in the same family, copper is much more reactive than gold. This is why Copper rusts more than gold, and why there are so many copper compounds (IE copper silicate...). Copper is higher in the family, giving it these characteristics.
What element is harder than gold but softer than copper?
Silver is harder than gold but softer than copper.
