What else can I help you with?
Of all the nonmetals which has the highest conductivity?
The carbon allotrope we call diamond has the highest thermal (heat) conductivity of any material. It is far better an any metal (or anything else we know of) at allowing heat to pass through it. It is carbon (in its graphite allotrope) that has the highest electrical conductivity under normal conditions of any of the nonmetals. Any metal is a better electrical conductor, but carbon is good enough to make brushes for electrical motors out of. You'll recall that the brushes complete the electrical circuit between the wiring of the non-moving elements to the rotating commutator.
What happens to conductivity when moving across periodic table?
metal--> nonmetal --> metalloid
Which property would be least helpful in determining whether a substance is a metal or nonmetal?
The solubility of the substance in water would be least helpful in determining whether it is a metal or nonmetal. Both metals and nonmetals can vary widely in their solubility characteristics; for instance, some metals are soluble in water, while many nonmetals are not. Other properties, such as electrical conductivity and malleability, are much more indicative of a substance's classification as a metal or nonmetal.
How do you differentiate a metal from a nonmetal using instrument?
A metal conducts heat better than a nonmetal. If you put a metal and a non-metal in boiling water for the same amount of time, the metal will be hotter than the non-metal. If you put a metal and non-metal in ice water for the same amount of time, the metal will be colder than the non-metal. Also, metal conducts electricity better than non-metal. You can use metal and non-metal wires to conduct a battery, and see which one works better.
What is a substance with the properties of poor electrical conductivity brittle in the solid state good heat insulator and outer shell contains 4 or more electrons?
The substance you are describing is likely a nonmetal, specifically a type of metalloid or certain covalent network solids like silicon or germanium. These materials typically have a crystalline structure that contributes to their brittleness and poor electrical conductivity in solid form. With an outer shell containing four or more electrons, they can form covalent bonds but do not conduct electricity well, making them effective insulators for heat.
Is flourine a nonmetal?
Yes, fluorine is a nonmetal. It belongs to the group of elements on the periodic table that are nonmetals, characterized by their low electrical conductivity and brittle texture.
Why conductivity of diamond is highest being a nonmetal?
It would help if you specify whether you are talking about thermal conductivity, or electrical conductivity. Diamond certainly doesn't has the highest electrical conductivity. Its thermal conductivity is one of the highest known, and - if a synthetic diamond is made from pure (99.9%) C-12, it is indeed the highest. The Wikipedia article attributes this to a strong covalent bonding.
IS chlorine a good conductor of heat and electricity?
Chlorine is a poor conductor of both heat and electricity. It is a nonmetal with low electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity due to its atomic structure and lack of free-moving electrons.
How well does chlorine conduct electricity and heat?
Chlorine is a poor conductor of electricity and heat. It is a nonmetal element with low electrical and thermal conductivity properties.
Is silver a solid metal or a nonmetal?
Silver is a solid metal. It is known for its lustrous appearance, ductility, and electrical conductivity, all of which are typical characteristics of metals.
What terms describe a substance that has a low melting point and poor electrical conductivity?
covalent and molecular
What is a nonmetal mineral?
A nonmetal mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic substance that does not possess metallic properties. These minerals lack the physical and chemical characteristics of metals, such as luster, malleability, and electrical conductivity. Examples of nonmetal minerals include quartz, sulfur, and graphite. Nonmetal minerals are essential for various industrial applications, such as construction, electronics, and agriculture.
Is the element nitrogen a metal or a nonmetal?
Nitrogen is a nonmetal. It is a gas at room temperature and lacks the characteristics of metallic elements such as luster and conductivity.
Which of these properties would be more likely to be associated with a metal than a nonmetal?
Examples: malleability, ductility, thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, solid state, magnetism, high melting point, etc.
Why is bromine a nonmetal?
Bromine is a nonmetal because it lacks the properties of a metal, such as high electrical conductivity and malleability. It is instead a halogen in group 17 of the periodic table, sharing characteristics like low melting point and high reactivity with other nonmetals.
Why does corrosion of metal decrease conductivity?
When metal corrodes, it forms an ionic bond with some corrosive nonmetal such as oxygen or sulfur, and once it forms such a bond, its valence electrons become tremendously less mobile, since they are caught by the nonmetal. The high electrical conductivity of metal depends upon the mobility of the valance electrons.
What is the properties such as luster conductivity and flexibility are used to describe what type of elments?
metals, because if you read it also says conductivity, an that is how well something transfirs. eltricity
