Diamond has the highest thermal conductivity, and is thus used as a heat substrate in some semi-conductor assemblies. It is about 400 times that of copper.

Liquid Helium may be even better, but practicality rules that out for most things.

What are conductivity metals?

Metals have a higher electrical and thermal conductivity than nonmetals.


Does bromine conduct thermal?

yes it does!


Is poor heat conductivity a property of metal or non metal?

Poor heat conductivity is a property typically associated with non-metals. Metals are generally good conductors of heat due to the presence of free electrons that facilitate energy transfer. In contrast, non-metals, which lack these free electrons, tend to have lower thermal conductivity and are often used as insulators.


How are metalliods different from metals?

Metalloids have some properties similar to properties of non metals; metalloids have bad thermal and electrical conductivity, they are brittle, soft etc.


Do metal have poor thermal?

If you mean thermal conductivity: actually, metals usually have excellent thermal conductivity, which is why materials like copper and aluminum are widely used for heat sinks, cooking utensils, and heat exchangers.

Do nonmetals or metals have high thermal and electrical conductivity?

Metals generally have higher thermal and electrical conductivity compared to nonmetals. This is because metals have a "sea of electrons" that can move freely through the material, allowing for efficient transfer of heat and electricity. Nonmetals, on the other hand, typically have fewer available electrons for conduction.


A what is a material through which energy can be easily transferred as heat?

Any material which has high thermal conductivity can easily transfer energy as heat. As far as I know, all metals have high thermal conductivity. Copper, gold and silver especially have high thermal conductivity. Diamond and graphene have VERY high thermal conductivity, so this is not restricted to only metals.


What is non-example about thermal conductivity?

A banana is a non-example.


How do you use thermal conductivity in a sentence?

Thermal conductivity involves the movement of energy while the as a whole is still. Gases are said to have low thermal conductivity, as they transfer heat poorly. Metals have much better thermal conductivity, as they will heat up and cool down relatively quickly.


What do you mean thermal conductivity?

Thermal conductivity is a material property that describes how well a substance can conduct heat. It measures the ability of a material to transfer thermal energy through it. Materials with high thermal conductivity, like metals, transfer heat well, while those with low thermal conductivity, like plastics, do not.


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.
