The metals which are less reactive and not very shiny are generally less conductive than others.These metals generally have low melting and boiling points.

The above result has been proven but still it is not true for all the metals,i.e,there are certain exceptions.Eg)Mercury is good conductor of heat but not that good conductor of electricity.But there is no need to remember the conductivity of different metals,you just need to know some of the best conductors and some of the worst ,that's all.

Does copper possess high or low thermal conductivity?

Copper has a high thermal conductivity, not low. This is a good generalization of any metal, although they vary in conductivity.


Does Argon gas have electrical or thermal conductivity?

Argon gas has low electrical conductivity, as it is classified as a non-metal gas. However, it has good thermal conductivity, which means it efficiently transfers heat.


Does bromine conduct thermal?

yes it does!


Does metal have high thermal conductivity compared to other materials?

Yes, metal generally has high thermal conductivity compared to other materials.


What qualifications do you need to be a thermal insulator?

Low thermal conductivity!


Is metal a thermal conductivity?

Yes, metal will conduct heat energy


Is metal low conductivity?

No, metals have high conductivity but has low resistivity.


Do elements that have high electric conductivity also have high thermal conductivity?

Not necessarily. While there is some correlation between electrical and thermal conductivity in metals, there are exceptions. For example, diamond is a good thermal insulator despite being a good electrical insulator. Additionally, materials like ceramics can have low electrical conductivity but high thermal conductivity.


A material in which thermal energy is transferred slowly is a?

Material with low thermal conductivity.


Which metal can oppose the temperature?

I do not really understand your question. What do you mean by "oppose the temperature"?If you mean insulate or have a low coefficient of thermal conductivity then there are several alloys which conduct heat less than most other metals. Some stainless steels for example have relatively low thermal conductivity.


What metal has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all?

Silver


What is the thermal conductivity of bad conductor?

Bad conductors, also known as insulators, have low thermal conductivity. This means they do not readily allow heat to pass through them. Materials like wood, glass, and plastic are examples of bad conductors with low thermal conductivity.
