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.
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.
How do solid nonmetals differ from solid metals?
Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat. Also, they have a "metallic lustre", i.e., their surface shines.
How are solid nonmetals different from metals?
Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat; nonmetals usually aren't. Also, metals tend to have a shiny surface.
Nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
no
Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
Some nonmetallic materials are good conductors, graphite being an example. In this form, it is considered a semi-metal for that reason. Normally, however, nonmetals are not good electrical conductors.
What are nonmetals that are intermediate conductors of heat and electricity?
Semiconductors
What can conduct heat and electricity but are not the best conductors?
nonmetals
Are nonmetals poor conductors of heat and electric current?
Yes.
Some properties of non metals?
Nonmetals have high ionization energies and electronegativities. They are usually poor conductors of heat and electricity. Solid nonmetals are generally brittle, with little or no metallic luster. Most nonmetals have the ability to gain electrons easily.
What physical and chemical properties are found among the nonmetals?
Most nonmetals are poor conductions of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. Solid nonmetals are dull and brittle.
Are metals and nonmetals both good conductors?
no because metals conduct heat and electricity well, but nonmetals do not
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
