What is brittle but a good conductor?
Graphite is brittle but a good conductor of electricity.
Name two physical properties of nonmetals?
Well, nonmetals are opaque and brittle. They are also bad conductors of heat and electricity.
Are insulators dull brittle and poor conductors?
Yes, insulators are materials that are dull in appearance, brittle in nature, and poor conductors of electricity. They have high resistance to the flow of electrical current due to their atomic structure, which makes them ideal for electrical insulation purposes.
How do brittle objects undergo plastic deformation?
Brittle objects typically do not undergo plastic deformation due to their inability to sustain significant deformation before fracturing. Instead, brittle materials tend to fracture with minimal or no plastic deformation.
Why rubber band become powdery?
Rubber bands can become powdery due to a process called oxidation, where the rubber degrades over time when exposed to light, air, or heat. This causes the rubber to lose its elasticity and become brittle, eventually turning into a powdery substance.
Which characteristics describe most nonmetals in the solid phase?
Solid metals are often shiny, ductile(can be pulled into wires), malleable(can be hammered into thin sheets), and good condutors of heat and electricity. Hope this helped!
Is calcium malleable or brittle?
yes it is malleable it can be hammered into shape
Can magnesium be hammered into shape?
Yes Magnesium Can Be Hammered Into Shape !
What is brittle but a good conductor?
Graphite is brittle but a good conductor of electricity.
What does non-metal mean?
A nonmetal is an element that tends to be dull, brittle, and a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
A characteristic of most nonmetallic solids is that they are?
they are NOT good conductors of heat and they are brittle solids.
What is brittle dissolves easily in water has a high melting point and conducts electric currents?
IPhone
What element is pale yellow brittle solid and does not conduct electricity?
sulphur
Can sulfur can be hammered into sheets?
No, sulfur would break and turn into powder.
Is usually a gas or brittle solid that is a poor conductor of electricity?
A gas is usually a poor conductor of electricity. In contrast, a brittle solid material that is a poor conductor of electricity is typically an insulator.
Can phosphorus be hammered into shape?
No, phosphorus is brittle and cannot be hammered into shape like metals. It is a non-metal element that is usually found in a solid state with a waxy appearance, and attempts to hammer it would likely result in it breaking or crumbling.
Is ductile a conductor?
Ductile means that it can hammered thin or made into a wire. That pretty much excludes the possibility of being brittle. However, conducting heat or electricity is entirely different. It just so happens that metals are often ductile and the often conduct heat and electricity, but other materials are not ductile that do conduct electricity, and many of them are brittle. The physical properties (being ductile or brittle) do not necessarily determine the chemical properties (being conductive).
