Good conductors of electricity are often good conductors of heat?
Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.
Is fork a conductor?
That really depends on the material. Many forks are made out of metal. When they are shiny, they are most likely out of metal. In that case, they are good conductors of both heat and electricity. If they are made out of plastic, they are not good conductors.
Why dark surfaces are good absorbers of heat and shiny surfaces are poor absorbers of heat?
If you are talking in terms of the suns heat being absorbed by the surfaces then I have the answer. Shiny surfaces naturally deflect the suns rays where as dark surfaces are easy conductors of heat as they naturally catch the suns rays. You will notice with leather or print on a shirt that it gets hot because the rays have nowhere to go. A shiny surface will just deflect it back.
Are insulators dull brittle and poor conductors?
Insulators are conductors
What type of resistance do conductors have?
Conductors have a (low) Electrical resistance.
Are all conductors of heat shiny?
conductors are generally are made of metals and naturally metals are of shiny and so u can tell that all conductors of heat shiny
What are three general of metals?
Conductors of heat, malleable,shiny
What distinguishes nonmetals from metals?
metals are shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are dull and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
What are elements that are shiny bendable and good conductors of electricity called?
Metals. The elements that are classified as "Transition Metals" and are located in Groups 3 - 12 of the Periodic Table are elements that are shiny bendable and good conductors of electricity.
Which of the following is a property of nonmetals poor conductors of electric current very reactive with water malleable shiny?
Many - but not all - are poor conductors of electric current.
What large group of materials are good thermal conductors and good electrical conductors?
metals
What are the characteristic properties of metals?
Metals are generally very good conductors of heat and electricity, hard, shiny, malleable, ductile, and solid at room temperature. Some are magnetic.
Are alkaline earth metal shiny or dull?
Alkali Earth metals are shiny. All metals have a property called luster witch means that they are shiny. All metals are also malleable, ductile, and are good conductors.
What are the proerties of metals?
They are shiny, malleable, they have high melting and boiling points, and they are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Good conductors of electricity are often good conductors of heat?
Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.
What are the major characteristics or metals?
good conductors, metallic luster, and shininess
What are the group of elements called that can conduct electricity?
Conductors
