Are rocks good heat conductors?

Rocks are generally poor heat conductors compared to materials like metals. This means they do not transfer heat as effectively. However, the specific heat conductivity of a rock can vary depending on its composition and density.


Do non metals contuct heat?

Non metals do not conduct heat. They have high resistance.They are insulators.Non metals do not have a pool of 'free electrons' (as metals do with metallic bonds). Hence they generally are poor conductors of heat. Nonmetals such as Styrofoam are widely used as insulators. Graphite is an exception as it is a good conductor of heat with its free electrons.Most of the non metals does not conductors because the do not have free electrons. But graphite is a good conductor. Most of the non metals are insulators.


Is bromine classified as a metal non metal or metalloid?

Bromine is classified as a non-metal. It is a member of the halogen group in the periodic table and typically exhibits non-metallic properties such as being a poor conductor of heat and electricity.


What are the three into which elements can be classified basd on their proprtiess?

Elements can be classified into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their properties. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are typically dull, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.


Is calcium a good conductor of electricity and heat?

Yes, calcium is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Most nonmetals are not good conductors of heat and electricity.
