Iodine is a poor conductor of heat and electricity because it is a molecular solid composed of diatomic molecules (I2), which do not have free-moving electrons or ions that can carry electric charge. The strong covalent bonds between iodine atoms restrict the mobility of these molecules, limiting thermal conductivity. Additionally, the absence of a delocalized electron system further impairs its ability to conduct electricity. Consequently, iodine behaves as an insulator rather than a conductor.
What else can I help you with?
What substances is a bad conductor of electricity but a good conductor of heat?
Thank you but is there any other substances that can fit this criteria, particularly any metals. I need to be able to use this substance in extension cords so the substance needs to be inexpensive and common.
Can we say plastic a bad conductor?
Not if you wish to be grammatically correct. You could say "plastic is a bad conductor of electricity," which would be an accurate statement.
Define bad conductors of electricity?
Bad conductors of electricity are materials that do not easily allow the flow of electric current. They have high resistance to the movement of electrons, resulting in very low conductivity. Materials like rubber, glass, and plastic are considered bad conductors of electricity.
Is milk a good conductor of heat?
Milk is not a good conductor of heat compared to metals or water. However, milk conducts heat better than air or most non-metallic substances. Heating milk on the stove or in the microwave allows heat to transfer through the liquid, leading to warming or boiling.
Which type of metal is the worst conductor?
The worst metal conductor of heat is very probable bismuth with a thermal conductivity of 7,97 W/m.K.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aluminum conducts heat brilliantly, which is why it is used for most heat sinks and cooling fins, along with copper, another brilliant conductor of heat.--------------------------------------------------------------
Is iodine a good conductor of heat and electricity?
No, iodine is not a good conductor of heat or electricity because it is a non-metal and does not have free electrons that can move to carry an electric current. In its solid form, iodine is a poor conductor of heat as well due to its molecular structure that limits the transfer of energy.
Bad conductor of heat and electricity is?
insulator
Which is bad conductor of electricity but good conductor of heat?
glass, ceramic,diamond, are somtricitytte of the conductor of hear but bad conductor of electricity meher n sethna
How plastic is bad conductor of heat?
Because it does not allow heat or electricity to pass them.
Is chlorine a good or bad conductor of heat and electricity?
I believe chlorine would be a bad conductor of electricity. Not sure about the heat. Usually one would want to stick to using a type of metal and stay away from most liquids when trying to conduct electricity.
What the difference between a good conductor and a bad conductor?
A good conductor allows electricity or heat to flow easily through it due to high conductivity, while a bad conductor restricts the flow of electricity or heat due to low conductivity. Good conductors typically have many free electrons that can move easily, while bad conductors have fewer free electrons, making it harder for electricity or heat to pass through.
Is a candle good conductor of heat?
Candle is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Sulfur is a bad conductor of what?
electricity! Because it is a non-metal
Is a plastic bag a good conductor?
No, because plastic is an insulator making it a very bad conductor of heat.
Is zinc an good or bad conductor of electricity?
zinc is a good conductor of electricity
What does bad conductor mean?
there are no good or bad conductor there are conductor ,semiconductor and isolator.
Why is diamond a bad conductor of electricity?
All four valanced electron of each carbon atom involves in formation of covalent bond living no free electron to conduct electricity under influnce of electric field thats why diamond is bad conductor of heat and electricity
