Metals are actually good conductors of both heat and electricity... but silicon is a semi-conductor.
Unlike metals, which are good electrical and heat conductors, crystalline solids such as diamond and semiconductors such as silicon are good heat conductors but poor electrical conductors. This is their nature... you can't change it :-)
Silicon is a semi conductor in normal temperature. At high temperature it becomes conductor rather than a semiconductor.
Thermal conductivity Electrical conductivity
yes copper is actually a very good insulator to both heat and electric conducting A2: NO. Copper is about the second-best electrical conductor, next to silver. It is also a very Good heat conductor. Try heating an iron poker in a fire. The heat travels slowly to the opposite end. A copper wire, however, if stuck in the fire, will transfer heat Very quickly--you won't be able to hold the other end of it! wikipedia.org/copper
Well, since tin is a metal on the periodic table of elements it would have to be: Shiny malleable ductile a good heat conductor a good electrical conductor
Aluminum is a conductor, and a pretty good one. It acts to conduct quite well. It ranks behind silver, copper and gold. Use the link to a list of things by their electrical conductivity. That link is below, and it is to Wikipedia, of course.Aluminium is a conductor.
It is a medium to poor conductor of heat
no sillicon is not a good conductor of heat and electricity.
They are only fair to high (intermediate) conductors of electricity and heat, except that silicon is a good heat conductor. Metalloids include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.
bakelite
NO, a metalloid is not a good conduct of heat. -UND34D ASSASSIN
It depends on whether you mean heat conductor or electrical conductor; in either case it is a poor conductor at room temperature; but at very high temperature it is a good electrical conductor but still a poor heat conductor
Copper is a good conductor, that's why it is used to make electrical wire.
Examples of very good conductors are: gold, silver, copper, aluminium, etc.
yes,because it is an acidic.not an element
Silicon is a poor conductor of heat. So is
Metals are known to be good conductors of heat as well as good conductors of electricity. Diamond is an exception though, being one of the best thermal conductors but a very poor electrical conductor.
Why is glass a good conductor of heat and ceramic is not a good conductor of heat?
NO, it is not a good conductor of heat.
