Which class of elements have both the properties of metals and non metals?
Conducts heat and electricity very poorly.
What are metals and non-metals and metaloids?
Metals are elements that are usually malleable, ductile, conductive of heat and electricty, and lusterous. Non metals are elements that do not exhibit these characteristics. Metaloids are elements with intermediate properties.
Which of the following crystals would be the best at insulating heat Fe Cu C or Na?
Non-metals such as carbon are insulators of heat.
Classes of elements?
Metals, non metals and metaloids (which have some of the properties of both metals and non metals).
Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
How does the electrical and heat conduction of metals and non metals compare?
Electrical and heat conduction is much greater in metals than in non metals.
Do non metals contuct heat?
Non metals do not conduct heat. They have high resistance.They are insulators.Non metals do not have a pool of 'free electrons' (as metals do with metallic bonds). Hence they generally are poor conductors of heat. Nonmetals such as Styrofoam are widely used as insulators. Graphite is an exception as it is a good conductor of heat with its free electrons.Most of the non metals does not conductors because the do not have free electrons. But graphite is a good conductor. Most of the non metals are insulators.
What happens when non metals react with metals?
they form a salt
What happens to the atoms of non metals when non metals react with metals?
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
Which meterial not conduct the heat?
Non-metals tend to not conduct heat
What is poor conductor of heat and electricity metals non-metals or metaloids?
Nonmetals
Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity are?
All Non-Metals are poor conductor of electricity.
Do metals or non metals conduct heat better?
Metals are better conductors and non-metals are better insulators. Metalloids can be either a conductor or an insulator, it depends on the object.
What types of matter do not conduct heat at all?
Every matter conducts heat but non-metals conduct less heat than metals generally . For exception diamond which is a non metal is one of the best conductors of heat.
Which class of elements have both the properties of metals and non metals?
Conducts heat and electricity very poorly.
Why non metals don't conduct heat?
Most non-metals have covalent structures. These structures do not allow heat energy to travel from one point to another. In metals the heat energy quickly travels from one point to another due to vibration of the free electrons in the electronic cloud surrounding the metal ions. In non-metals, the electrons are bond inside the atom so cannot help in transfer of heat energy.
Are nonmetals nonconductors?
Most non-metals are in fact considered to be non-conductors. Some non-metals however do have the ability to conduct heat and electricity.
