Nonmetals that can conduct heat and electricity under some circumstances are classified as what?
semiconductors.
What materials conduct heat and which do not?
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
What properties do all nonmetals have in common?
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.
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.
Is a cable cover a good heat conductor?
Not usually. They tend to be made of plastic material. They will melt but do not conduct heat well
Are metals and nonmetals both good conductors?
no because metals conduct heat and electricity well, but nonmetals do not
What are nonmetals sometimes called because they do not conduct heat and electricity well?
bad conducters or poor conduct of heat and light energy
Nonmetals that can conduct heat and electricity?
Water
Can nonmetals conduct heat and electricity?
yes
What can conduct heat and electricity but are not the best conductors?
nonmetals
What are 2 charactistics of non-metals?
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.
Shiny malleable ductile and generally conduct electricity and heat are qualities of what?
nonmetals
Nonmetals that can conduct heat and electricity under some circumstances are classified as what?
semiconductors.
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
Material that conducts thermal energy well?
All elements will conduct heat to some extent. metals conduct heat and electricity the best; metalliods conduct heat and electricity good too but not as good as metals. nonmetals are poor conductors.
What are charaterisitics of nonmetals?
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.
Do nonmetals conduct less heat than metals?
Because it's that way ka peesh:(
