The best conductor for heat and electricity is any type of metal element.
Atoms of materials that conduct electricity best tend to be held together by metallic bonds. This is the attraction between positively charged nuclei in metal atoms and the delocalized electrons in the metal.
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
The water inside the fruit or the vegetable, makes it conduct electricity.
Yes, A Rusted Nail can conduct Electricity because every element has some free Electrons in it, and remember, free electrons always conduct Electricity. --Dhruv
Insulator materials will not carry or conduct electricity.
"Conductivity Countdown: Investigating Materials for Electricity Flow"
Materials that do not conduct electricity are called insulators. Examples include rubber, plastic, glass, and ceramic. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electricity due to the lack of free-flowing electrons.
Conductor are materials that conduct electricity. There are also semiconductors, which conduct electricity but not as well, and superconductors, which conduct electricity without resistance when very cold.
copper, metals...
Usually, yes.
Materials that do not conduct electricity well are Insulating materials, or insulators. Examples include glass, rubber, plastic, air, ceramic, porcelain, dry paper and dry wood. Pure water will not conduct electricity at all.
For a material to conduct electricity , it has to be impure , so for example pure silicon cannot conduct electricity but Silicon chips in computers that are mixed with other things can. So the materials that conduct are charged with little particles that allow the flow of electricityBecause of electrolytes. Or because of the metal something is made of.
Materials that conduct electricity well include metals such as copper, aluminum, and silver. In contrast, insulating materials like rubber, plastic, and glass do not conduct electricity. Some fabrics that can conduct electricity are conductive fabrics made by weaving metal threads with conventional fibers.
Superconducters are materials that conduct electricity with little or no resistance.
Metal, specifically, copper
Superconductivity is where there's absolutely zero electrical resistance or magnetic expulsion. Materials that are superconductors conduct electricity much like other materials, but more efficiently.
