What is a poor conductor of heat?
A poor conductor of heat is usually refereed as an insulator, the reason being is because Metal conceives over thousands of particles, these particles then vibrate between one another causing it to spread dramatically, this process speeds up the heating, enabling it to be hotter then usual. However, None-Metals are called "Insulators" Insulator meaning the particles are either too close to each other or spread out further, a wooden spoon can be described to be a insulator because it doesn't conduct with heat.
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 gold a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
No it is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity
List of good and bad conductor of electricity?
Good conductors conduct electrical current very easily because of their free electrons. Some common good conductors are copper, aluminum, gold, and silver.Bad conductors (or insulators) oppose electrical current and make poor conductors. Some common insulators or bad conductors are glass, air, plastic, rubber, and wood.Conductors have a very low resistance to electrical current while insulators or bad conductors have a very high resistance to electrical current.
What is an element that is brittle and a poor conductor?
Nonmetals are elements that are brittle and dull.
What group of elements are poor conductors of heat and electricity?
most non ferrous materials are poor conductors with exceptions
Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity and break easily are called?
nonmetals
What are some elements that are dull and are poor conductors of heat and electricity?
anything that is not of metal or liquified
Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity are?
All Non-Metals are poor conductor of electricity.
Are poor conductors of heat poor conductors of electricity?
Yes.
Does sulfur conducts heat?
Sulfur is a nonmetal and nonmetals are poor conductors of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. So no
Materials that are poor conductors of heat?
Materials that are poor conductors of heat are Plastic and Wood "example."
What are some poor conductors of heat?
Poor conductors of heat are generally also poor conductors of electricity. These would include most gases, ceramics and man-made plastics. A vacuum will not conduct heat either.
What are some conductors of heat?
Gold, diamond, rubber, and glass are poor heat conductors.
What class of element listed on the periodic table contain elements that are poor conductors of heat and electric current?
It would be nonmetals.
What are some bad conductors of heat?
Gold, diamond, rubber, and glass are poor heat conductors.
What nonmetals in the solid state are poor conductors of heat tend to?
Nonmetals in the solid state tend to be brittle and poor conductors of heat.
