When metal corrodes, it forms an ionic bond with some corrosive nonmetal such as oxygen or sulfur, and once it forms such a bond, its valence electrons become tremendously less mobile, since they are caught by the nonmetal. The high electrical conductivity of metal depends upon the mobility of the valance electrons.

Characteristics of copper?
Corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. and its metal
What physical properties are required of metal for pots?
heat conductivity. thats the best answer if your working with a science paper
What is immersed corrosion?
Immersed Corrosion refers to a type of metal corrosion when the metal is immersed in a liquid.
Why does conductivity decrease with increasing concentration for all acids?
It doesn't. Conductivity increases with increasing concentration.
What is uranium electrical conductivity?
Uranium is a metal and as such, it has excellent electrical conductivity.

Does aluminum have conductivity?
Yes,Aluminum have conductivity because it is a metal
Why does conductivity decrease with increasing concentration for all acids?
It doesn't. Conductivity increases with increasing concentration.
What is metal corrosion?
Metal Corrosion or Metallic Corrosion can be defined as the destructive attack of a metal through interaction with its environment.The most common example is Rust, an iron oxide Fe2O3, that is the consequence of the Corrosion process of Iron.
Is metal low conductivity?
No, metals have high conductivity but has low resistivity.
What is uranium electrical conductivity?
Uranium is a metal and as such, it has excellent electrical conductivity.
Is corrosion of aluminum metal a chemical?
Corrosion is a chemical process.
What causes low conductivity.... metal plus metal or non-metal plus non-metal or metal plus non-metal?
well, not metal+metal, but for the other 2 you'd have to specify, because water+metal=good conductivity & just water or another liquid = good conductivity. now stone, it is a horrible conductor.
What metals are most affected and least affected by metal corrosion What causes metal corrosion Hows is metal corrosion caused by water and how is it related to it?
Corrosion is a chemical reaction; corrosion of iron is the reaction with water in the presence of oxygen. Metals as Pt, Au, Ta, Rh, Ru, etc are less sensible to corrosion.
Why does the conductivity of a metal increase when a metal is cooled?
conduction is basically the flow of electrons from one end to the other in a conductor. lets take the example of a metal rod. the metal rod can conduct electricity as the electrons are able to flow and the resistance offered by the cations is relatively low. however, when the metal rod is heated, the cations start vibrating as energy is supplied to them. vibrating cations cause greater hindrance to the movement of electrons and thus, the conductivity decreases.
