Super cooled metals are good conductors because their super cooled properties allow them to conduct electric currents without resistance. This means no loss of energy.

Do nonmetals tend to be just as good conductors as metal?
No, nonmetals tend to be insulators. Some (e.g. carbon) are poor conductors. Semiconductors (e.g. silicon and germanium) in their pure form are insulators but when doped with the right impurities can conduct as good as metals. This is why they are called semiconductors.
What are the similarities metals and nonmetals have in common?
Metals and nonmetals are both in the periodic table. They both have atoms in them.
Metal is a good conductor?
Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. However the degree of conductivity varies with each type of metal.
Current carring conductor?
All metals, liquid salt solutions, molten salts, and other certain substances are generally considered good electrical conductors. The best naturally occurring conductor is silver metal, although the next best thing is copper, since it's much cheaper and more widely available. If you have access to extreme cryogenic cooling mediums like liquid helium or liquid nitrogen, you can cause certain metals and compounds to become superconductive; i,e. perfect conductors.
What are some similarities between silver and gold?
They are both transition metals in the d-block, and both in group 17 on the periodic table. They both have a single electron in their outermost s orbital. Plus they are both metals, so they are good conductors of heat and electricity, they are both malleable and ductile, and both have luster. dont listen to me i do crystal meth with elmo
Is cobalt a super conductor of electricity?
conductorCobalt is a metal. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Is a metal and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
Metals are good conductors of electicity?
the majoriy of metals are good conductors such as cooper and iron other metals such as gold are not
Are metals conductors or insulators?
In general, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
What are metals good for?
metals are good conductors of electricity and heat!
What are the all metals?
metals are good conductors of electricity
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.
What solids are good conductors?
All metals are solids and good conductors apart from Mercury which is a liquid but is a good conductor.
Are metals good or bad conductors?
using the energy band model, i would rank metals as good conductors. The energy gap in metals is negligible, that is the valence band and the conduction band overlap. Thus it is very easy for electrons in the valence band to move to the conduction band thereby conducting currents. Hence metals are good conductors.
Do metals insulate heat?
No. Metals are good conductors of heat.
What are good conductors of electriicity?
Metals, in general. Copper and silver are particularly good conductors.
What large group of materials are good thermal conductors and good electrical conductors?
metals
