Metals are actually good conductors of both heat and electricity... but silicon is a semi-conductor.
Unlike metals, which are good electrical and heat conductors, crystalline solids such as diamond and semiconductors such as silicon are good heat conductors but poor electrical conductors. This is their nature... you can't change it :-)
What else can I help you with?
Is copper a bad heat conductor?
No, copper is actually a very good heat conductor. It is commonly used in applications where efficient heat transfer is required, such as in electrical wiring and heat exchangers.
What element is and good conductor of heat and electricity?
Almost all metals are good conductors of heat and electricity but alkali metals such as silver are very good conductor of heat and electricity.
Is arsenic a good conductor of heat and electricity?
No, arsenic is not a good conductor of heat or electricity. It is classified as a metalloid and has poor electrical and thermal conductivity compared to metals like copper or aluminum.
Is sulfur a poor conductor of energy?
Yes, it is a horrible conductor of energy.
Is aluminium a conductor or insulator?
Aluminum is a conductor, and a pretty good one. It acts to conduct quite well. It ranks behind silver, copper and gold. Use the link to a list of things by their electrical conductivity. That link is below, and it is to Wikipedia, of course.Aluminium is a conductor.
Are metalloids Conductor of heat or electricity?
They are only fair to high (intermediate) conductors of electricity and heat, except that silicon is a good heat conductor. Metalloids include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.
Is silicon a good heat conductor?
Silicon is a moderate heat conductor compared to metals like copper or aluminum, but it is better than materials like wood or plastics. Its thermal conductivity allows it to effectively transfer heat, making it suitable for various applications in electronics and semiconductors.
Which material is a electrical insulator but a good conductor of heat?
bakelite
Is copper a good conductor of heat and electricity?
yes copper is a good conductor of heat only becuase it comes in the conductor of heat
Is copper a bad heat conductor?
No, copper is actually a very good heat conductor. It is commonly used in applications where efficient heat transfer is required, such as in electrical wiring and heat exchangers.
What element is and good conductor of heat and electricity?
Almost all metals are good conductors of heat and electricity but alkali metals such as silver are very good conductor of heat and electricity.
What is an good conductor to heat and electricity?
Copper is an excellent conductor of both heat and electricity due to its high thermal and electrical conductivity properties. It is widely used in electrical wiring and plumbing systems because of its ability to efficiently transfer heat and electrical energy.
Is sliver a conductor or insulator?
Silver is a very good conductor of electricity due to its high electrical conductivity. It is commonly used in electrical wires and circuits for this reason.
Is glass a poor conductor?
It depends on whether you mean heat conductor or electrical conductor; in either case it is a poor conductor at room temperature; but at very high temperature it is a good electrical conductor but still a poor heat conductor
Is cesium a conductor of electricity and heat?
yes it is good conductor of elasticity because it is a metal.
Is rhodium a good conductor of heat or electricity?
Rhodium is an excellent conductor of electricity.
What element is an electrical conductor and heat conductor?
Examples of very good conductors are: gold, silver, copper, aluminium, etc.
