What materials allow heat to pass through and electricity?
metals have the ability to pass and conduct electricity and heat through them....
What materials conduct heat and electricity?
The best conductor for heat and electricity is any type of metal element.
What material does not allow light to pass through is a good conductor of heat but not a good conductor of electricity?
Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity. Non metals are poor conductors of heat and are not conductors of electricity , except for carbon , which is can conduct a little bit of electricity.
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 is an insulator of electricity?
a insulator of electricity is a material that insulates, especialy a nonconuctor of sound,heat,or electricity.
Does aluminum conduct heat and electricity and sound?
Yes.
Is water magnetic does it conduct heat and sound and electricity?
Pure water is NOT magnetic, a poor conductor of electricity, but good in sound and heat.
The ability or power to transmit heat electricity or sound?
conductivity
Can solar heat conduct electricity?
yes solar heat can conduct electricity
What are the two things metal can conduct?
All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.
The ability of something to conduct heat or sound is an example of one of its properties?
chemical property
What is a description for conductivity?
Conductivity is the ability of a substance to transmit electricity, heat, or sound
What kind of object will conduct both heat and electricity?
metal can conduct both heat and electricity.
Is conductors of heat and conductors of electricity the same thing?
Sometimes. Metals will conduct both heat and electricity. Glass will conduct heat but not electricity.
What is having the ability to conduct electricity or heat?
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.The metal conduct electricity because they have unbound electrons (or valence electrons) that can conduct the electricity as the electrons can move. Similarly, they conduct heat because the electrons are free to vibrate which causes neighbouring electrons to vibrate and so on along the entire piece of metal. These vibrations cause the metal to conduct the heat.Graphite, a type of carbon, is also a good conductor of electricity. Graphite is soot.
How would you describe the ability of most metalloids to conduct heat and electricity?
better than metals but not as good as nonmetals
Does argon gas conduct electricity and heat?
gases do not conduct heat or electricity well. metals conduct both well. but argon is a conductor
