What else can I help you with?
Is sodium a better electrical conductor than francium?
Yes, sodium is a better electrical conductor than francium. This is because sodium has one valence electron that can easily move and carry electrical charge, whereas francium has only one valence electron that is trapped in an inner shell by its atomic structure, making it less available for electrical conduction.
What are the characteristics of copper?
copper is a very shiny metal, with an orange-gold colour. It is a really good conductor of electricity, second only to silver. it doesn't corrode easily and is ralatively cheap since its very abundant. its very malleable and ductile.
Is Xenon a good conductor?
Its electrical conductivity is not known. The thermal conductivity is only 5.65×10^−3 W/(m·K). By way of comparison, silver, the best conductor has a conductivity of 430 W/(m·K) - more than 75 thousand times as great.
Does niobium conduct electricity?
Neodymium does conduct electricity. It's conductivity, however is about 1/50th that of copper, which makes it a fairly poor conductor as far as metals are concerned. Not all magnetic substances conduct, however. Ferrite for example is an iron ceramic compound which allows it to be magnetized, even as an insulator.
What is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature and what is it used for?
Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is used in thermometers, barometers, and some electrical switches and relays.
The only non metal that is a good electrical conductor?
water
Is brass a insulator of electricity?
it is a conductor but its electrical conductivity is only 28%as conducive as copper.
The only nonmetal that is a good electrical conductor?
That would be water.
What is the only non metal which is good conductor of heat and electricity?
Graphite
Which is the only non metal which is good conductor of heat and electricity?
diamond
Why plastic is not a good conductor?
Because electricity can only travel through metal.
Is copper a good conductor of heat and electricity?
yes copper is a good conductor of heat only becuase it comes in the conductor of heat
What is the only conductor that is not metal?
Graphite is a non-metal conductor due to its structure that allows electrons to move freely between its layers.
Is a pencil an insulator or conductor of electricity?
Note: "electricity" is not conducted, only electrical current (the flow of electrons) is. Electricity is the field that covers all things electrical. The wood in a pencil is an insulator. If it is wet, it is a poorer insulator, but only a poor conductor. The carbon (lead) in the pencil is a poor conductor. The metal holding the eraser is a good conductor. The rubber eraser is a poor conductor. You really have to address the conductivity of specific substances, not items that are build from a variety of substances.
Why only one end of metal rod cannot be charged?
Metal is a good conductor. Any charge will quickly be distributed over the entire metal piece.
Is a nonconductor a metal or non metal?
Almost everything is a good conductor of sound, but a conductor of heat and electricity are usually only metals. A nonmetal can be an insulator, or something that doesn't conduct things, for heat and electricity.
What metal is good for electrical wiring?
For most applications ... where the wire has no function other than to join the components that accomplish the purpose of the circuit ... the best metal to use for wiring would be the one with the smallest resistivity. That would be silver. A big part of the reason that we usually settle for copper is because it is only second best as a conductor and is a lot less expensive than silver.
