Is boron carbide a conductor of heat and electricity?

Alright, since boron carbide is also known as black diamonds, I believe its a poor conductor of heat and electricity, not only due to the fact that its diamond but along with its specific properties.


What is induced magnetism?

In the simplest terms, Induced Magnetism is the magnetism of an object as a result of an external influence. Typically, the external influence is a magnetic field due to another object. (One also hears the term transient magnetism applied to the same phenomenon. To be considered transient, the magnetism must disappear when the external influence disappears, but to be "induced" it just has to appear.) Though this is a technical term, it has a meaning that is the normal meaning of "induced," as in "caused by." This is to be contrasted with other modifiers, like "permanent magnetism" or "remnant magnetism" or "spontaneous magnetism" which are all still magnetism of an object but with a modifier further describing the magnetic state. If one is being more technical, then in scientific circles the term "induced magnetism" usually refers the situation where an object acquires a magnetic field as a result of it being in some external magnetic field even though it is not normally a magnetized material. One see this all the time. If you bring a permanent magnet near a collection of paperclips, then the paperclips all attach to one another and to the permanent magnet. Each paperclip has become, temporarily, a magnet. If the permanent magnet is removed, the paperclips no longer attach to one another. The magnetic properties of the paperclips were "induced" and not a permanent characteristic. More technicalities can be present with this term, because magnetism in an object can be induced in other ways than the application of a magnetic field. In the absence of such technical considerations, it is safe to assume that the term "induced magnetism" just means a temporary state of magnetization of an object induced by an external magnetic field provided by a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.

What do scientists think causes magnetism?

All magnetism is due to circulating electric currents. In magnetic materials the magnetism is produced by electrons orbiting within the atoms; In most substances the magnetic effects of different electrons cancel each other out, but in some, such as iron, a net magnetic field can be induced by aligning the atoms.


Does sodium bromide conduct electricity?

Sodium bromide is an ionic substance. It conducts electricity when melted or when dissolved in water. This is due to the sodium, Na+ ions and the Br- ions present. It does not conduct electricity in the solid state as the ions can not move.

Do all metals respond to magnet?

Magnetism in metals is due to electrons flowing in the same direction, causing a magnetic field. Not all metals produce a magnetic field.


What is the connection between a metalloid and semiconductor?

The connection between a metalloid and a semiconductor is that metalloids are used in electronics as semiconductors. A semiconductor doesn't conduct electricity as well as a metal, but does conduct electricity better than a nonmetal.


What properties of metals are due to the fact that metal ions can be rearranged?

Can metal conduct electricity?

Yes metals can conduct electricity due to the free electrons in metals that can move through the metal. Metals are soft and have a low melting point causing it to be reactive.


All metals are conductors?

by defining all metals would be wrong as synthetic metals would change the properties of the metal. in terms of natural metals or alloys, yes they are all conductors as their arrangements allow them to have delocalised electrons to carry electricity


Are alloys conductors of heat and electricity?

yes, all alloys do conduct electricity due to the conductivity of their metals.


Is a metals luster due to its valence electrons?

Most of the properties of a metal, including lustre, are due to the metallic bonding of the electrons.


Can magnetism conducted like electricity?

for a short distances the magnetism can be well, said to be conducted in a magnetic material. For example if you have seen a transformer core then you will realize that the magnetic fluxes are being conducted across the core form primary winding to secondary winding. but if your question is if the magnetism can be conducted to larger distances like electricity then it might be theoretically possible but practically unrealizable due to huge losses and well earth's magnetism effects.


Are all metals a conductor of electricity and heat?

yes they all conduct heat and electricity due to thier type of bond and free electrons.


Why metals are good conductor of heat and electricity?

This is due to the fact that in metals electrons are delocalized and can move free.


What do metallic bonds explain about the properties of gold?

Gold is a shiny, ductile material which is a good conductor of electricity and heat. All of these can be ascribed to its metallic bonds. What can't be explained so readily is its relative inertness and its color as metals are generally more reactive than gold and the majority are silvery white


Is a metals luster is due to its valence electrons?

Most of the properties of a metal, including lustre, are due to the metallic bonding of the electrons.
