What else can I help you with?
What two properties make nonmetals unsuitable for wiring?
The fact that: * they do not conduct electricity * and if you want something else besides that, they melt at low temperatures.
What properties identify nonmetals?
AcidicThe properties that identify the non metals are poor conductors, low densities and high ionization energies.
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.
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 makes a fruit or vegetable conduct electricity?
The water inside the fruit or the vegetable, makes it conduct electricity.
Nonmetals that can conduct heat and electricity?
Water
Can nonmetals conduct heat and electricity?
yes
Is the ability to conduct electricity is a property of nonmetals?
no
What is the difference between metals and nonmetals in regards to how they conduct electricity?
Metals generally are good conductors of electricity, and nonmetals are not.
What can conduct heat and electricity but are not the best conductors?
nonmetals
What non metals can't conduct electricity?
Nonmetals such as sulfur, phosphorus, and iodine are unable to conduct electricity because they lack free-moving electrons in their atomic structure. This results in these nonmetals being poor conductors of electricity.
What is the classification of silicon?
metalloid :) StArcHiLd*
Identify a nonmetal and why is it classified as a nonmetal?
Oxygen is a nonmetal because it lacks the physical and chemical properties of metals. Nonmetals typically do not conduct electricity, are brittle, and have low melting points. Oxygen also tends to gain electrons in chemical reactions, a characteristic of nonmetals.
Do nonmetals have electrical conductivity?
Most nonmetals do not have electrical conductivity because they lack the free electrons required to conduct electricity. However, some nonmetals like graphite and silicon can conduct electricity to some extent due to their unique structures.
What is the group of elements called that do not conduct electricity?
The group of elements that do not conduct electricity are generally called non metals.
Shiny malleable ductile and generally conduct electricity and heat are qualities of what?
nonmetals
Minerals that are generally dull not malleable and not ductile and cannot conduct electricity are .?
Nonmetals
