What is metal define?

A solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity.


Who is better thermal conductor diamond or graphite?

Graphite conducts far more electrical conductivity vise versa the diamond conducting far more thermal conductivity. Diamonds are hard. Graphite is soft.


In general metals are .?

Generally metals are hard, dense, with good thermal and electrical conductivity, can form cations, many are malleable or ductiles, etc.


What determines that an element is metal?

For example the aptitude to form cations in solution. And generally metals are solids, hard, with good thermal and electrical conductivity, etc.


What combination of factors is most suitable for increasing the electrical conductivity of metals?

Resistivity is a constant for any particular material, and independent of that material's physical dimensions or shape. However, it does vary with temperature which is why resistivity is always quoted at a particular temperature. Variations in resistivity due to temperature change is the reason that the resistance of a material varies with temperature. In SI, resistivity is expressed in ohm metres.


Is sodium hard?

yes sodium is hard because it is salt Improve: No, Sodium can be bent easily and it is a soft metal as potassium


What would happen if you drop a large crystal of sodium chloride on a hard floor?

It is broken.


What word would tell us how hard or how easy it is for water to flow through soil?

Hydraulic conductivity or permeability are both terns that would fit the above description.


Does sodium chloride and iodine react?

They do not react based on hard-soft acid base theory. Na+ is a hard acid, Cl-is a hard base, and even if I-were formed, it's a soft base and therefore would not replace Cl-in sodium chloride.


How do you prove electrical conductivity?

A simple way to prove electrical conductivity would be to measure the resistance of the material under study. The lower its resistance, the better its electrical conductivity. With a modest ohmmeter, an investigator could measure the resistance of a number of things and make a nice table of coparison. It would be relatively easy and require only some basic stuff and a bit of time and effort. The hard core investigator might make a little battery powered circuit and insert various test materials to see if a small light will light up with the designated material making up a part of the circuit. (Note. If you do this, do not use anything but a small 9-volt battery or the like. Applying voltage from a wall socket to anything experimental can be dangerous in the extreme. And it can be fatal under some circumstances. Certainly you can burn down a structure in a hurry by making a bad choice.)
