Nonmetals are usually poor conductors of heat. They are found on the left side of the Periodic Table and the middle. Also all the lanthinide series are metals, as well as the artificial radioactive ones past uranium.

No -limewater is a base, specfically a solution of calcium hydroxide or Ca(OH)2 Hydrochloric acid is a solution of hydrogen chloride or HCl


A substance whose potential chemical energy is transformed into thermal energy is called a?

A substance whose potential chemical energy is transformed into thermal energy is called a fuel. When the fuel undergoes combustion or a chemical reaction, its stored energy is released in the form of heat.


What is the difference between electrolytes and nonelectrolytes?

electrolytes react with water to form ions in solution, and nonelectrolytes have molecules.Electrolytes are ionic compounds and some covalent compounds like strong acids. Non electrolytes do not ionize in water. Only covalent compounds like CH4 and C6H6 can be nonelectrolytes-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------♥Compounds whose solutions in water or whose molten states are capable of conducting electricity are called electrolytes. They are either acids, bases, or salts. Solutions of these compounds contain ions. Electrolytes which in solution are completely or almost completely in the form of ions are called strong electrolytes. They are very good conductors. Those whose solutions contain mostly covalent molecules are poor conductors of electricity and are called weak electrolytes. Non electrolytes are compounds whose solutions DO NOT conduct electricity. ^^;

What do you use universal indicator solution for?

It is a chemical solution used for knowing the pH of a substance. Eg. You mix a drop of Universal indicator solution with approx 5 mL of the substance whose pH you want to know.You can compare the color with a standard pH chart and know the pH.


Is a carbonated soft drink a solution mixture or compound?

A soft drink is definitely a compound. You see, mixtures can be easily taken apart. A salad is an example of a mixture. A compound is a substance whose smallest unit is made up of atoms of more than one element bonded together. This just means that compounds cannot be separated easily. A soft drink, air, and carbon dioxide are some examples. A solution is sort of like a compound, except that a solution is a substance mixed into another. Some examples are table salt water- when you mix table salt into water- and powder lemonade when you mix it in water. In all solutions there is a level of solute. If you exceed this level, the solution will not mix all the way and you will be left with a substance you can see because it has overpowered the other.
