Is ice a metal or non metal?
Ice is a non-metal. It is frozen water.
What is distilled water metal or nonmetal?
Non metal.
How do you differentiate a metal from a nonmetal using instrument?
A metal conducts heat better than a nonmetal. If you put a metal and a non-metal in boiling water for the same amount of time, the metal will be hotter than the non-metal. If you put a metal and non-metal in ice water for the same amount of time, the metal will be colder than the non-metal. Also, metal conducts electricity better than non-metal. You can use metal and non-metal wires to conduct a battery, and see which one works better.
What causes low conductivity.... metal plus metal or non-metal plus non-metal or metal plus non-metal?
well, not metal+metal, but for the other 2 you'd have to specify, because water+metal=good conductivity & just water or another liquid = good conductivity. now stone, it is a horrible conductor.
Why do metal react with non metal?
Sulfur doesn't react with water.
Is H2O a metal non metal or metalloid?
The compound water, H2O is made of hydrogen and oxygen, both non-metals.
What is a better insulator for a hot water pipe metal or nonmetal?
Non-metal
Which non-metal is used in water purification process?
Chlorine is the non-metal which is used for the purification of water
What is a non metal which is a good conductor of electricity?
Water
Does the hardness of water depend upon the metal or non metal ion of the mineral?
The hardness of water depends primarily on the concentration and chemical identities of the metal cations dissolved in the water. The non metal ions dissolved in the water have little effect unless the particular ions are capable of forming coordinate covalent bonds to the metal ions.
Are non-metals the worst conductors?
No actually something like water is a good and fimiliar conductor but to get down to the science water is H2O. Two hydrogen atoms (hydrogen is a metalliod which is between metal and non-metal but is considered to be more non-metal) and one oxygen atom (oxygen is a non-metal) both together make H2O which is water and is a great conductor (but not as good as some metals are).
What is the only non metal that is a liquid at room temperature?
Water
