What else can I help you with?
What can conduct heat and electricity but are not the best conductors?
nonmetals
Which of the following is a characteristic of nonmetals?
- lower density- lower hardness- lower melting point- lower boiling point- some nonmetals are gaseous or liquidsetc.
What distinguishes nonmetals from metals?
metals are shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are dull and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
What nonmetals in the solid state are poor conductors of heat tend to?
Nonmetals in the solid state tend to be brittle and poor conductors of heat.
Nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
no
Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
No, nonmetals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity. This is because they do not have freely moving electrons that can carry the heat or electric charge effectively. Metals, on the other hand, are good conductors due to the presence of delocalized electrons.
What are nonmetals that are intermediate conductors of heat and electricity?
Semiconductors
Are metals and nonmetals both good conductors?
Metals are generally good conductors of electricity due to their free electrons that can move freely within the material. Nonmetals are poor conductors of electricity because they lack free electrons for efficient conduction.
Are nonmetals poor conductors of heat and electric current?
Yes.
What is the difference between metals and nonmetals in regards to how they conduct electricity?
Metals generally are good conductors of electricity, and nonmetals are not.
Elements can be classified as metals semi metals non metals?
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are poor conductors. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
