Does an iron nail conduct electricity?
Yes they do, they have approximately .3 volts of conductivity.

What causes metal to conduct electricity?
The free electrons within the metal cause metal to conduct electricity because they drift easily with an applied electric force. All metal conducts electricity.
Does graphite conduct heat and how?
All substances conduct heat to some degree as the heat is transmitted between atom via their vibration in solids. In electrically conductive materials such as metals and graphite, there are delocalised electrons which can pass from atom to atom freely. This is how charged is transmitted to mediate electricity. These flowing electrons can also carry heat and pass it more quickly from atom to atom than through just vibration alone.
What is the difference between a conductor and a insulater?
a conductor attracts and an insulator keeps it all together
Which form of carbon will passes electricity?
Graphene, graphite, and some carbon nanotubes can all conduct electricity.
Does money conduct electricity?
Yes, money can conduct electricity to some extent. This is because most coins and bills are made from metals or materials that can conduct electricity, such as copper or graphite. However, the conductivity of money is relatively low compared to other metals like silver or copper.
Does pencil lead conduct electricity?
Pencil lead (aka graphite) DOES conduct electricity. It does this thanks to electron delocalization within the carbon layers. Since the valence electrons are free to move, they are able to conduct electricity.
What are ALL the materials that can conduct electricity?
Some materials that can conduct electricity include metals such as copper, silver, and aluminum, as well as carbon in the form of graphite. Conductivity is based on the availability of free electrons within the material to carry electric current.
Will electric currents flow through a pencil?
Electric currents will not flow through a pencil because the graphite in a pencil is not a good conductor of electricity. Graphite is considered a semiconductor, so it does not allow electricity to flow as easily as a metal conductor.
What metal can't conduct electricity?
all metals can conduct electricity
What are the two things metal can conduct?
All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.
Can the graphite content in a pencil be used as a variable resistor?
Yes, the graphite content in a pencil can be used as a variable resistor by changing the length of the graphite material exposed. Increasing the length of the graphite path decreases resistance, while decreasing the length increases resistance. This can be useful in making simple electronic circuits or sensors.
Does aluminum conduct eletricity?
Yes all metals conduct electricity!! :)
Why does graphite conduct electricity and diamond does not?
: Diamond is made up of pure carbon. In the structure of diamond one carbon atom is attached to four other carbon atoms forming a covalent bond. All the electrons of each carbon atom is shared and the octet rule is satisfied. Hence no free electron is left for the conductance of electricity. : In case of graphite the carbon atoms naturally combine covalently with three other carbon atoms so every combined carbon has one unshared or free electron. Now this free electron is responsible for conductance in graphite. : Graphite and metals have free electrons to conduct electricity.
Why don't all forms of carbon conduct electricity?
It has do to with a phenomenon known as electron delocalisation. Graphite is the only form of carbon (and one of the only non-metals) to conduct electricity. Graphite is arranged in sheets of 6-membered rings, and these sheets have delocalised electrons, which means that electrons are spread evenly throughout the sheet and are free to move, and therefore carry electrical charge throughout the sheet. Other forms of carbon, such as diamond, do not have delocalised electrons, and are insulators.
Do all fruits and vegetables conduct electricity?
no
