What elements are made of luster?
Elements with luster would be classified as metals. Metals will also have the properties of malleability and ductility. Luster: the shine of a metal object Malleability: the flexibility of a metal Ductility: the ability of a metal to be pulled into thin wires
Is PVC metal or non metal?
The wires themselves are usually made of a metal such as copper.
The ability of a metal to be drawn out into thin wires is a?
chemical property
What does the plastic over the metal wires in a circuit do?
to help prevent from not getting electrocuted
What the property of metals to be drawn out into thin wires called?
The metal is said to be ductile.
4 kinds of metal?
Metals can generally be found in the transition element section of a table of elements. Four interesting elements of metal include - Gold, which is a very stable metal and will not rust but conducts electricity well. Mercury, which is the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature. It is highly toxic to humans. Sodium, a highly reactive metal. Any contact with water and it will rapidly react, creating heat and light! Copper, commonly used in wires because of it's very low resistance. An ionic solution of copper is bright blue.
Is copper a metallic or nonmetallic element?
It is metal as it conducts electricity and it is on the left side of that big black line in the periodic table. It is in fact used in wires for it's conductive properties.
Which elements in the periodic table can be drawn into thin wires?
Malleable

What are thin wires made out of?
metal if its not metal than its not a wire
What is copper And what is three uses of a copper?
copper is a metal in the periodic table of elemets because its a pure metal copper is used to make wires because its a good conductor of electricity its also used in parts of boats and also as jewelry
Is wire metal non metal?
The wires themselves are usually made of a metal such as copper.
Is wire metal or non metal?
The wires themselves are usually made of a metal such as copper.
Is an element a good conductor when it's a semi-metal?
Without actually testing the particular metal, it is hard to tell which metal will be a good conductor. The best conductor is silver, the second best is copper, the third best is gold. Looking at the periodic table, that is not logical! Carbon has been used for spark plug wires. Silicon will not work for spark plug wires. What is going on? While the periodic table is good for predicting and coming close, it does not always provide the best answer. The periodic table predicted platinum would be the best metal for catalytic converters. Some scientist decided to forget predictions and start testing. He discovered rhodium was far better and far less expensive.
What is copper metal used for?
Pipes, wires.
What kind of metal is used in wires?
copperr
Is wire metal?
Metal wires are single strands of flexible material often used to carry electrical currents, telecommunication signals, and hold mechanical loads.
