What else can I help you with?
Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity and break easily are called?
nonmetals
What are the properties that define an element as a non-metal?
- many nonmetals are gaseous or liquids- densities are not high- hardness of solid elements is not high- nonmetals form frequently anions- nonmetals form frequently compounds with covalent bonds
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 state of matter is a poor conductor of heat?
it depends like there are some solids which are better conductors than others but I think that gases are the worst conductors of heat as they have lots of spaces between there molecules and so heat cant pass throught them....
What are some poor conductors of heat?
Poor conductors of heat are generally also poor conductors of electricity. These would include most gases, ceramics and man-made plastics. A vacuum will not conduct heat either.
How do solid nonmetals differ from solid metals?
Solid nonmetals typically have lower melting points and boiling points compared to solid metals. Nonmetals tend to be brittle in their solid state, while metals are malleable and ductile. Additionally, nonmetals are usually poor conductors of heat and electricity, whereas metals are good conductors.
How are solid nonmetals different from metals?
Solid nonmetals tend to be brittle, have lower melting/boiling points, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Metals, on the other hand, are generally malleable, have higher melting/boiling points, and are good conductors of heat and electricity.
What distinguishes nonmetals from metals?
metals are shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are dull and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Name two physical properties of nonmetals?
Well, nonmetals are opaque and brittle. They are also bad conductors of heat and electricity.
Nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
no
Which of the following is a characteristic of nonmetals?
- lower density- lower hardness- lower melting point- lower boiling point- some nonmetals are gaseous or liquidsetc.
What can conduct heat and electricity but are not the best conductors?
nonmetals
What are nonmetals that are intermediate conductors of heat and electricity?
Semiconductors
What is the difference between a metal a nonmetal and a matalloids?
Metals are elements that are shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, and ductile. Nonmetals are elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity and are brittle in solid form. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals and can exhibit characteristics of both.
Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
No, nonmetals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity. This is because they do not have freely moving electrons that can carry the heat or electric charge effectively. Metals, on the other hand, are good conductors due to the presence of delocalized electrons.
Are nonmetals poor conductors of heat and electric current?
Yes.
What are three major categories of elements?
The three major categories of elements on the periodic table are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity, and can be solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
