Yes they are, I'm trying to find out why though.
semiconductors.
Insulators do not conduct heat and are therefore non-metals. Metals do conduct heat, and vey well may i add. But, for the record, you're thinking of electricity. Potatoes conduct heat, and they're not metals. Anyone who has held a lump in their hand will tell you that playdough conducts heat, in fact, rather a lot of other materials conduct heat and water also conduct heat
Non-metals generally are not good conductors of heat or electricity, have a dull surface, are brittle to the touch, and are not easily molded into shapes.
Nonmetals in the solid state tend to be brittle and poor conductors of heat.
Not usually. They tend to be made of plastic material. They will melt but do not conduct heat well
bad conducters or poor conduct of heat and light energy
Water
yes
nonmetals
Metals and Nonmetals have specific characteristics. Two characteristics of Nonmetals are typically brittle and do not shape easily, and they do not conduct heat or electricity well.
semiconductors.
nonmetals
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
Among the elements, nonmetals are generally the least like others in their ability to conduct heat and electricity. Unlike metals, which are good conductors due to the presence of free-moving electrons, nonmetals typically lack this property and are poor conductors. For example, while metals like copper and aluminum conduct electricity well, nonmetals such as sulfur and phosphorus do not. This fundamental difference sets nonmetals apart from the conductive behavior of metals.
Three of these insulators, aka nonmetals, are wood, rubber, plastic, etc
there are many charaterisitics of nonmetals, a few of them are they do not conduct electricty. and they are not magnetic. mosts of nonmetals do not conduct heat, som are good insilaters. again as i said before, there are many charaterisitics you can look up a bunch more but i named a few.
Because it's that way ka peesh:(
