Well if you want to get all chemistry-ish then good conductors are materials that are ideally ions (metals with a full outer shell of electrons), or metals with very few outer shell electrons. The more electrons on the outer shell of a metal atom, the more resistance there will be, allowing less electric current through, making it a bad conductor. Metals like gold, and especially silver are very good conductors, whereas copper is also, but is cheaper and used more commonly. I think stuff like lead and steel is bad (don't take my word for it) but if you want to know whip out a Periodic Table and look at some GCSE chemistry notes
Hope that's OK.....
poor conductor of heat
as it is a metal it should be an excellent conductor of both.
well it is either metal, nonmetal, metalloids. a metal is shiny, conducts heat well, conducts electricity well and malleable. non metal is dull, poor conductor of heat, poor conductor of electricity, and brittle. metalloids has some shine, somewhat malleable, semi- conductor of heat, semi-conductor of electricity.
Nails are metal.
Poor conductors of electricity include plastics, woods and gases, in other words, anything that is not a metal. Poor conductors of heat include foam, air and some fabrics, such as felt. Which kind of poor conductor do you mean? Poor conductors/insulators include wood, plasctic, polystyrene foam, fabric, gas or anything that is non-metal. Not necessarily. Nichromium is a combination of the metals nickel and chromium. Is is a fairly poor conductor. Plastic for example is a poor conductor because it is an insulator. Plastic is made up of a substance that dose not allow the flow of electrons. Materials which contains 5 6 or 7 electrons in its outermost shell.
A nonmetal is an element that tends to be dull, brittle, and a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
Metal
Nitrogen is a nonmetal. It is found in group 15 of the periodic table and typically exhibits nonmetallic properties such as being a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
nonmetal
Yes, sulfur is a nonmetal. It is positioned in the nonmetal group on the periodic table due to its properties such as being a poor conductor of heat and electricity, and not having metallic luster.
Nitrogen is a poor conductor of electricity. It is a nonmetal and does not have any free electrons to carry an electric current.
Fluorine is a poor conductor of electricity. It is a nonmetal and as such, it does not have the free-moving electrons that are necessary for conducting electricity efficiently.
Silver is a metal. It is a good conductor of heat and electricity and possesses metallic luster and ductility. It is not classified as a nonmetal or a metalloid.
Bromine, as the element is called on its own is a nonmetal, and is a poor conductor of electricity. Bromide salts conduct electricity if dissolved in water or molten, but not in their normal solid states.
No, fluorine is a poor conductor of electricity because it is a nonmetal and does not have any free electrons to carry electric current.
Bromine is a nonmetal. It is a member of the halogen group on the periodic table and has properties typical of nonmetals, such as being a poor conductor of electricity and having low melting and boiling points.
yes it is. search it on google "chlorine electrical conductor" yes it is. search it on google "chlorine electrical conductor"
