Is lead metal or non metal?
Lead is a poor metal and (or) a metalloid: it has some amphoteric properties as well, like bismuth or arsenic. It has some fine metallic properties though.
Is arsenic metal or non metal?
arsenic is a non-metal because it is a poor and bad conductor of heat and electricity
Why is mercury a conductor of heat but not water?
I think you are meaning HEAT -- and Mercury is a metal regardless that it is liquid - and most metals conduct heat (or electricity) better than water. Water absorbs heat a tremendous amount whereas metals conduct heat through themselves. Add: Mercury is actually a poor conductor of heat, but not as poor as water.
Iron is a good conductor of electricity?
No, iron is a very poor conductor compared to other metals such as aluminum and copper
Which metal is the poorest conductor of heat?
Most of the metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Exception to this rule is silver and copper. Spoons made out of silver and copper pans used in cooking does not conduct heat easily.
Why is iron a poor metal to use for metal pipes?
Because it rusts very easily. You woudn't want to use rusty water, believe me.
PVC Pipe Easy To Install And Affordable?
Using PVC pipe is more affordable than using traditional metal pipes. It is easier to work with because it is lighter. A special glue holds pieces together to prevent leaks. If you have hard water, the minerals can attach to metal pipes. Over time, they can build up and clog pipes. This leads to poor water pressure and, eventually, the pipe will become blocked. Minerals do not build up in PVC like they do in metal pipes, making PVC a great option for homes with high lime and calcium contents in the water.

Why are zinc and magnesium not used for pipes and in electrical wiring?
Zinc and magnesium are highly reactive and so will corrode very easily, especially when in contact with water. Magnesium is an especially poor choice for pipes as it will react with water to produce flammable hydrogen gas.
Is iron a poor conductor of electricity?
since iron is a metal and most metals are good conductors of electricity one can assume that iron is a fair conductor of electricity. The electrical conductivity of iron is approx. 1/6 from the electrical conductivity of silver (the best known conductor).
How do people get water from rivers?
People get water from rivers by carrying it by hand in buckets like many people in poor countries do, or by filtering it in a plant off of the river which then either bottles and ships the water or pipes it to peoples homes.
Is iron a poor conductor?
no
How does metal rust?
