Lead is a conductor like all metals are.
semi conductor
A lead of a pencil is a conductor because it is made of graphite, which allows electricity to flow through it. Graphite is a good conductor of electricity due to the free movement of electrons in its molecular structure.
Glass is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity because its structure lacks free electrons that can move easily to carry an electric current.
Polystyrene is considered an insulator because it is a poor conductor of electricity. It has high resistance to the flow of electric current due to the lack of free-flowing electrons in its structure.
Pencil "lead" is not really lead, the metal - Pb. Pencils are made with graphite which is a mineral, an insulator.
Copper is a conductor.
Pencil lead is a conductor.
A semi conductor is not a good conductor or a good insulator.
semi conductor
A lead of a pencil is a conductor because it is made of graphite, which allows electricity to flow through it. Graphite is a good conductor of electricity due to the free movement of electrons in its molecular structure.
No, sodium is a metal and is not a semiconductor. Semiconductors are materials that have conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator. Sodium is a good conductor of electricity due to its metallic properties.
a good insulator
Glass is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity because its structure lacks free electrons that can move easily to carry an electric current.
Polystyrene is considered an insulator because it is a poor conductor of electricity. It has high resistance to the flow of electric current due to the lack of free-flowing electrons in its structure.
In general, yes, silicone is thought of as an insulator. It can be engineered to conduct to a degree, but is generally not a conductor of electric current. It (silicone) is often used as an insulating medium.
Silver is a conductor of electricity. It has low resistivity, allowing electric current to flow easily through it compared to insulators like rubber or semi-conductors like silicon.
