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
Which element is a poor conductor of heat?
Most of the non metallic elements are known as poor conductors of heat and electricity for example LEAD PLASTIC WOOD GLASS CERAMICS FIBRE RUBBER
What is the most active family the metals?
Group 1 is the most active and Group 2 is second.
Which family of elements are the most reactive metals?
Alkali metals in the first group compose the most reactive family of metals.
Where are semiconductors located in the periodic table?
All metals (on the left side of the steps) are conductors, whereas all non-metals (on the right side of the steps, including hydrogen) are insulators. However, there may be some elements near the steps that may or may not conduct, along with the lanthanides and actinides group
What large group of materials are good thermal conductors and good electrical conductors?
metals
What is the type of element that is a good conductor of heat and electric current?
Most transition metals are good conductors of electricity, copper one of the cheapest and best conductors. Because of its high density, electrons can flow from molecule to molecule without expending excessive energy. Copper is used in many things for conducting electricity. For example, in electric motors, copper wire is spun around a metal core to create electricity with the spinning of it within a magnet.
What group are good conductors of electricity?
metals and such substances are good condutors of electricity.
What group on the periodic table are usually bad conductors?
Normally non-metals but there are exceptions
Describe metals in the first group?
Metals in the first group are Alkali Metals. Their group number is one. They are reactive. They don't occur freely in nature. They are soft, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity. Cesium and Francium are the most reactive metals in this group. Also, these metals explode when exposed to water.
What large group of materials are good thermal conductors and electrical conductors?
transition metals check on google the periodic table of elements by Christian Okutu
Are Group 1A elements alkali metals good conductors of electricity?
yes , they are good conductor of electricity
How are metal's designated in the periodic table?
The periodic table has three main groups: metals, non-metals and metalloids. Metals are solid and conductors of electricity. Metals can be found in the left of the periodic table.
Why are certain metals like copper silver and gold good conductors of electricity?
Most of the metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Metals have large pool of electrons which when given even slightest amount of energy, can be localized and hence conduct electricity. It is the surface electrons on metals that perform the motion and therefore give them ability to conduct heat and electricity.
What 2 elements in group 14 on the periodic table are most likely to be malleable and good conductor of electricity?
The types of elements which are malleable and good conductors are mainly metals. All metals are good conductors and are also malleable. Some of them include silver, iron and gold.
What is the name of the group of elements that are poor conductors?
Non-metals in general are poor conductors of electricity. The elements generally regarded as nonmetals are: hydrogen (H) In Group 14: carbon (C) In Group 15: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) Several elements in Group 16, the chalcogens: oxygen (O), sulfur (S), selenium (Se) All elements in Group 17 - the halogens All elements in Group 18 - the noble gases
Is electric current a wave?
If the current is alternating, then it has the properties of a wave in the conductor, such as frequency, wavelength, amplitude, phase, group velocity etc.
