Each type of material has its own set of properties. A material that is malleable and ductile or able to be hammered into different shapes without breaking and drawn into a wire

How does Earth's core transmit heat?
By conduction and convection.
What refers to a soil's ability to transmit water?
permeability
What problems faced power stations to transmit electricity to the cities?
One major problem was how to transfer electricity over long distances, without loosing the current. The current may dissipate over a long circuit, so what you get at the city is only a fraction of what you generated at the plant. This problem was overcome by using large transformers. They convert high current/low voltage to a low current but very high voltage. The electricity is then carried across land with minimal losses and once nearer its destination will be converted back to a higher current/lower voltage through the use of further transformers.
Which is an example of a superconductor?
A superconductor is a material with extremely low resistance to an electrical current. Many are metals or the like which have been supercooled to temperatures approaching absolute zero. Examples are mercury, lead and tin
What is soils ability to transmit water?
I think the word you're looking for is "permeability."
What elements that easily transmit electricity and heat display the property known as?
conductivity
What are Elements that easily transmit electricity and heat display the property known as?
conductivity
Elements that easily transmit electricity and heat display the property known as?
Elements that easily transmit (conduct) electricity and heat display characteristics of conductivity. They are called metals.
Does an insulator easily transmit electricity?
no
Can you transmit electricity through light?
No.
What specific materials transmit sound faster?
electricity
What property of potassium ions allows them to transmit an electrical impulse?
the property is diffusion
What do conductors and insulators do?
Conductors transmit, while insulators don't. Usually, they transmit electricity and/or heat. Usually, they poorly transmit electricity and/or heat (insulators). Usually, the classification by electricity or by heat is highly corrected.
What defines something able to transmit heat or electricity?
Conductivity.
The ability or power to transmit heat electricity or sound?
conductivity
What is a measure of an object's ability to transmit electricity.?
Resistance (or impedance).
Can you transmit electricity through air?
If the electricity is strong enough it can jump through the air. Google Jacob's ladder electricity for more.
