Any of the ceramic like materials. Look to the up and to the right of the Periodic Table. Semi-metals and solid non metals would be good places to start.

What is an element that is malleable and conduct heat and electricity?

The alkali metals, transition metals and metals in group 13, 14, and 15 on the periodic table all are malleable and good conductors of electricityEach of these groups has different characteristics, but all are able to conduct electricity and be formed or shaped easily.


Is sodium chloride a poor conductor of heat and electricity?

Sodium chloride (NaCl) or table salt is a poor conductor of heat and electricity in the solid phase, however, it is a very good conductor in the molten phase. This characteristic is shared by all ionic bonded molecular substances. Electricity can be defined as the flow of charge. Heat, to some extent, as the flow of energy. When a solid, sodium chloride, which consists of positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions, are stationary, fixed in a rigid crystal lattice structure. The charges cannot move, therefore electricity and heat will not be conducted well. When molten (melted) however, the rigid bonds of the crystal lattice are broken, allowing the positive and negative charges to move freely. In this state, when charges are caused to move by applying a potential difference, electricity is conducted, and so is heat.


What is the normal phase of einsteinium?

Ah, einsteinium is a fascinating element that exists in a solid phase at room temperature. It belongs to the actinide series on the periodic table, and its normal phase is a silvery-white metal. Just like painting, each element has its own unique beauty waiting to be explored.


What is einsteinium normal phase?

Einsteinium is a synthetic element and its normal phase is solid at room temperature. It is a radioactive metal with a silvery color and is part of the actinide series on the periodic table.


What is phase in electrical wiring?

The proper use of the term refers to the timing difference between voltages in a multi-phase power system. This makes more sense if you know that one complete AC cycle is divided up into 360 degrees, the same as a circle is. At 0 deg. the voltage is zero. At 90 deg. the voltage hits the positive peak. At 180 deg. the voltage falls back to zero. At 270 degrees the voltage falls to the negative peak. At 360 (same as zero) degrees, the voltage rises back up to zero, then the whole process repeats. In a 3-phase power system, each of the three hot conductors carry a voltage that is offset 120 degrees, or 1/3 of a cycle, from the next conductor. The voltage on each wire peaks at a slightly different time. However, in everyday use, the term phase has also come to mean which one of the three wires you want, as in "connect phase A to terminal 6", etc. It is even used in 240 volt (US) household power systems, where there are two different hot wires, even though it is technically not a multi-phase power system. So, if an electrician says phase, he most likely means one of the three hot wires in a 3-phase system.

Is sulfur brittle in its solid phase and a poor conductor of heat and electricity?

Yes, it is true.


Which characteristics describe most nonmetals in the solid phase?

Solid metals are often shiny, ductile(can be pulled into wires), malleable(can be hammered into thin sheets), and good condutors of heat and electricity. Hope this helped!


Is network solid a poor conductor of electricity?

No, network solid is a good conductor of electricity due to its structured network of metallic atoms that allow the flow of electrons. This makes it useful in applications where high electrical conductivity is required.


What is the purpose of a phase conductor?

There is no such thing as a 'phase conductor'; the correct term is 'line conductor'. In a single-phase system, the line conductor is the energised conductor; in a three-phase system, there are three (energised) line conductors.

What is phase conductor?

There is no such thing as a 'phase conductor'. The correct term is 'line conductor'. Line conductors are the three energised conductors that supply a three-phase load.


When are salts excellent condutors of electricity?

False. A salt solution is full of positive and negative ions making it a good conductor of electricity.


Can you use phase voltage as a single phase?

A single phase supply can be obtained between any pair of line conductors or between a line conductor and a neutral conductor.


Element with both metallic and nonmetallic properties?

The items that contain more than one element and have metallic properties are known as alloys. They can be an intermetallic compound that lacks phase boundaries, a metallic phase mixture, or a solid element solution.


Can molten copper conduct electricity?

Yes. Molten copper is just in the liquid phase but the mobile elctrons that compose the metallic bonds are still there hence it will still be a conductor.

What color are the phase neutral and earth cores in flexible cords?

It depends on the electrical standards of the country in which you live. In Europe, for example, the line conductor(not 'phase conductor'!) is brown, the neutral conductor is blue, and the earth conductor* is green/yellow stripe.[*properly called a 'protective conductor']
