Depending on which type of alcohol it is, does the conductivity depend on.

Generally alcohols are not electrical conductors.

Methanol and ethanol are dielectrics.

What the difference between a good conductor and a bad conductor?

A good conductor allows electricity or heat to flow easily through it due to high conductivity, while a bad conductor restricts the flow of electricity or heat due to low conductivity. Good conductors typically have many free electrons that can move easily, while bad conductors have fewer free electrons, making it harder for electricity or heat to pass through.


Is cermaic a good conductor?

Ceramic is not a good conductor of electricity. It is considered an insulator, meaning it does not allow electricity to flow through it easily. However, some ceramics, like piezoelectric materials, can conduct electricity under certain conditions.


Is a plastic bag a good conductor?

No, because plastic is an insulator making it a very bad conductor of heat.


Is chlorine a good or bad conductor of heat and electricity?

I believe chlorine would be a bad conductor of electricity. Not sure about the heat. Usually one would want to stick to using a type of metal and stay away from most liquids when trying to conduct electricity.


Is petrol a coductor of electricity?

PETROL IS A BAD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY. BUT IF YOU INDUCE IONS IN PETROL THEN IT CAN ACT AS A SEMI CONDUCTOR. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE MEDIA OF TRANSMISSION. IF THEY ARE IONS WHICH ARE TRACES OF METAL THEN ANY INORGANIC MATTER CAN ACT AS GOOD CONDUCTOR. ELECTRICITY IS ONLY ABOUT THE AFFINITY OF NEGATIVE CHARGED ELECTRONS TO POSITIVE ELECTRONS TO SATISFY THE LOSS OF ONE SINGLE ELECTRON FROM ONE OF THE ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION RINGS I.E s,p,d OR f. WHERE IN THE VALENCY IS SATISFIED AND THE MEDIUM CAN BE ANY MATERIAL. ALL DEPENDS ON THE IONIC AFFINITY.

Is krypton a good or bad conductor?

Krypton is a poor conductor of electricity. This noble gas is an insulator, meaning it does not readily conduct electricity due to its stable electron configuration.


Why good electrical conductors and insulators complement each other?

The diffrerence between a good condutor and a bad conductor is that a good conductor it go through electricity but a insulator would not attract electricity .This will help to prevent electricuted.

No, because plastic is an insulator making it a very bad conductor of heat.


What is the difference between insulator and bad conductor and semi conductor?

an insulator doesn't allows electricity pass from it, a bad conductor allows electricity to pass from it but not fully or completely and a semi conductor pass electricity in little form which used to operate electronics
