In terms of the elements, no, with the possible exception of carbon (C) in the form of graphite. The non metal elements are generally the opposite, insulating as opposed to conducting.
However, Water with a high salt concentration, and plasma (electrically charged gas) are good conductors.
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.
False. Nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity compared to metals. This is because nonmetals have fewer free electrons available to carry an electric current or transfer thermal energy.
- lower density- lower hardness- lower melting point- lower boiling point- some nonmetals are gaseous or liquidsetc.
Solid nonmetals tend to be brittle, have lower melting/boiling points, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Metals, on the other hand, are generally malleable, have higher melting/boiling points, and are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Metals are hard, shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity and able to be melted and made into wire. Nonmetals have none of these characteristics and semimetals are somewhere in between. For more detail see the wikipedia articles.

metals are shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are dull and poor 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.
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
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.

Yes, calcium is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Most nonmetals are not good conductors of heat and electricity.
Materials that can conduct heat are called good conductors of heat and electricity. Most of the time, these materials are metals. Nonmetals are not good conductors of heat.
- lower density- lower hardness- lower melting point- lower boiling point- some nonmetals are gaseous or liquidsetc.
Animals are considered to be nonmetals, because they can not be easily reshaped and are good conductors of heat or electricity.
