Does nitrogen conduct electricity?

Nitrogen is not considered to conduct electricity. This gas lacks the free electrons to support conduction.


Does ammonium nitrate conduct electricity?

Ammonia is a gas. Gases do conduct electricity, as all materials do. However, they conduct electricity so poorly that we consider them insulators. "Electricity" requires the movement of electrons. In a gas, these electrons are too dispersed to provided any measurable current. So it does conduct electricity and heat, however conducts them both very poorly ;')


Does methanol conduct electricity?

No, methanol does not conduct electricity. It does not conduct electricity because it is a non-electrolyte molecule. Sugar also is non-electrolyte, therefore it also does not conduct electricity.


Is sulfur a good conductor of heat and electricity?

Sulfur is generally not a good conductor of heat and electricity, if it is the atom itself you are talking about. If Sulfur is present in an ionic compound, (example: Copper Sulfide, Lead Sulfide), then this compound will conduct electricity in only the MOLTEN state. Also, if Sulfur is in a polyatomic ion (example: Sulfate) and this polyatomic ion forms an ionic compound with another metal, in an aqueous solution, then it will conduct electricity. Remember, ionic compounds only conduct in the MOLTEN/LIQUID state. Glad to help, regards


Is gold a poor conductor of heat and electricity?

Gold is a good conductor of electricity but a poor conductor of heat. This is due to its high electrical conductivity resulting from its high electron mobility. However, gold's ability to conduct heat is lower compared to other metals like copper or aluminum due to its high density and low specific heat capacity.

How does Thorium produce electricity?

Thorium can produce electricity through a process called nuclear fission. When thorium nuclei absorb a neutron, they can split, releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity.

What is the ability to conduct heat and electricity with metalloids?

Metalloids have an intermediate ability to conduct heat and electricity, falling between metals and nonmetals. They have some metallic properties, such as being able to conduct electricity to some extent, but not as effectively as pure metals. Their ability to conduct heat and electricity can vary depending on the specific metalloid.
