What else can I help you with?
What material does not allow light to pass through is a good conductor of heat but not a good conductor of electricity?
Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity. Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity.
What are some poor conductors of heat?
Poor conductors of heat are generally also poor conductors of electricity. These would include most gases, ceramics and man-made plastics. A vacuum will not conduct heat either.
What nonmetals in the solid state are poor conductors of heat tend to?
Nonmetals in the solid state tend to be brittle and poor conductors of heat.
What state of matter is a poor conductor of heat?
it depends like there are some solids which are better conductors than others but I think that gases are the worst conductors of heat as they have lots of spaces between there molecules and so heat cant pass throught them....
Which elements are poor conductors of electricity?
if you know chemical bonding it is easier to understand but any substance that doestn contain charge carriers is a poor conductor of electricity i.e. a substance that doenst contain free moving electrons or ions to propagate the current
What Materials which are good absorbers of radiation are also good?
Materials that are good absorbers of radiation are also good emitters of radiation. This is known as Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation. Good absorbers like black surfaces are also good emitters, while poor absorbers are poor emitters. This is why black objects heat up quickly in the sun and cool down quickly at night.
Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
No, nonmetals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity. This is because they do not have freely moving electrons that can carry the heat or electric charge effectively. Metals, on the other hand, are good conductors due to the presence of delocalized electrons.
Are coins good or poor conductors of electricity?
Coins are made of metal and metals are good conductors of electricity.
In general good absorbers of electromagnetic radiation are also good?
Yes, Good absorber of heat are good emitters of heat. And in both the way rate is same. This is Kirchoff's Law.
Are poor conductors of heat poor conductors of electricity?
Yes.
Are acidic solutions good or poor conductors of electricity?
Acidic solutions are good conductors of electricity because they contain free ions that can carry electric current. The presence of hydrogen ions (H+) in acidic solutions allows for the flow of electricity.
Materials that are poor conductors of heat?
Materials that are poor conductors of heat are Plastic and Wood "example."
Why are serving spoons conductors?
Serving spoons are conductors because they are made of metal and any metal is a conductor
Are shiny surfaces poor absorbers and poor emitters for infra-red radiation?
Shiny surfaces are poor absorbers of infrared radiation because they reflect rather than absorb it. However, they can still be good emitters of infrared radiation if they are close to being perfect blackbodies. The reflectivity of the surface plays a significant role in determining its emissivity for infrared radiation.
What distinguishes nonmetals from metals?
metals are shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are dull and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Are all elements good electrical conductors?
No. Non-metals are very poor conductors, and with the exception of Neon, so are the gaseous elements.
What is a good conductor of heat called?
Metals are good conductors of heat. Plastics and wood are very poor.
