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.

Does nitrogen conduct electricity?

Nitrogen is not considered to conduct electricity. This gas lacks the free electrons to support conduction.


Is copper a metallic or nonmetallic element?

It is metal as it conducts electricity and it is on the left side of that big black line in the periodic table. It is in fact used in wires for it's conductive properties.


Is sulfur a good conductor of heat and electricity?

Sulfur is generally not a good conductor of heat and electricity, if it is the atom itself you are talking about. If Sulfur is present in an ionic compound, (example: Copper Sulfide, Lead Sulfide), then this compound will conduct electricity in only the MOLTEN state. Also, if Sulfur is in a polyatomic ion (example: Sulfate) and this polyatomic ion forms an ionic compound with another metal, in an aqueous solution, then it will conduct electricity. Remember, ionic compounds only conduct in the MOLTEN/LIQUID state. Glad to help, regards


Which of the following elements conducts electricity bromine mercury oxygen or sulfur?

Bromine, oxygen and sulphur are all non metals, mercury is a metal. Mercury will conduct electricity and heat thou at quite low levels while the others will have negligible conductivity if at all. With metals, conductivity will decrease with an increase in temperature.


What is a type of element whose physical properties are generally opposite those of metals?

These are called nonmetals (e.g. carbon, phosphorus, sulfur)Metals (such as gold, titanium, and cobalt) are generally lustrous, malleable, and can conduct electricity. Nonmetals are dull, extremely brittle, and are usually (but not always) non-conductive.

What are three things metals can do?

Metals can conduct electricity, are malleable (can be hammered into thin sheets), and have a shiny appearance (luster).


What elements are not malleable and do not conduct electricity?

Insulators. Their valence electrons are tightly bound because the valence shell is close to full or full. Since each shell can only only hold a certain amount of electrons, the number of electrons depends on which shell is the outer or valence shell.

Which element is most likely to conduct heat and electricity?

Copper is the element that is most likely to conduct heat and electricity due to its high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity properties.


What test can you perform on an object to find out if it is a metal?

See if it will conduct electricity, and see if it can be flattened and stay flattened. Metals conduct electricity and heat, and are malleable. They also have a luster (shiny when polished) and are ductile- they can be drawn out like wire.
