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
Nonmetals conduct electricity poorly; metals conduct well.
most gaseous elements such as nitrogen are poor conductors of electricity (with the exception of neon) while most metallic elements are good conductors of electricity.
Group 18
All Non-Metals are poor conductor of electricity.
nonmetals
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.
semiconductors
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.
All Non-Metals are poor conductor of electricity.
Alloys are a combination of two or more elements. Not all alloys are poor conductors, in fact many are used specifically as conductors.
nonmetals
most non ferrous materials are poor conductors with exceptions
anything that is not of metal or liquified
Nonmetals would not work because they are poor conductors of electricity
Yes.
Electrical insulators are made from materials that are poor conductors of electricity. Metallic elements are good conductors, non metallic elements are poor conductors. Some materials used as insulators are, paper, glass, ceramics, rubber and plastics.
Sulfur is a nonmetal and nonmetals are poor conductors of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. So no
Coins are made of metal and metals are good conductors of electricity.
yes
They are insulators.
