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.
How does conduction work in non metals?
In non-metals, conduction occurs through the vibration of atoms or molecules. When heat is applied, the atoms or molecules gain kinetic energy and vibrate more rapidly, transferring heat energy throughout the material. However, non-metals are generally poor conductors of heat compared to metals due to their lack of free electrons for efficient heat transfer.
Classes of elements?
Elements are classified into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals based on their physical and chemical properties. Metals are typically shiny, conduct heat and electricity well, and are malleable. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals. Nonmetals are usually dull in appearance and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Where are all the non metals?
Non-metals are located on the right side of the periodic table. They include elements such as carbon, oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen. In general, non-metals tend to be poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Can bromine conduct heat?
Yes, bromine can conduct heat as it is a non-metal element with metallic properties. It has a relatively high thermal conductivity compared to many other 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.
What is poor conductor of heat and electricity metals non-metals or metaloids?
Nonmetals
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.
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 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.

However, non-metals are generally poor conductors of heat compared to metals due to their lack of free electrons for efficient heat transfer.
What happens when nonmetals and metals react?
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
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.
