Why is Beryllium chloride is a poor electrical conductor when molten while the next Group 2 chloride magnesium chloride is a good electrical conductor when molten?
Beryllium has a higher charge density and polarising power due to its relatively small ionic radius as compared to Magnesium. As such, the electron cloud of Chlorine is distorted and there is a high degree of covalent character in the ionic bond as compared to Magnesium Chloride. This means that there are hardly any free delocalised electrons in Beryllium Chloride to act as mobile charge carriers when molten, and hence the poor electrical conductivity.
Is diamond a poor conductor of electricity?
Yes. Diamond is a poor conductor of electricity.
Is usually a gas or brittle solid that is a poor conductor of electricity?
A gas is usually a poor conductor of electricity. In contrast, a brittle solid material that is a poor conductor of electricity is typically an insulator.

Is snow a poor conductor or good conductor of heat?
i think it is poor but i thought again ithink it is good conductor . and btw i still don't know if snow is a good or poor conductor of heat lol
