d - there's only one liquid metal at room temperature - Mercury. Gallium melts slightly past room temperature, but the rest are solids, for the most part.

What are the physical properties to the exceptions of the physical properties of metals and nonmetals?

Metals * Good electrical conductors and heat conductors. * Malleable - can be beaten into thin sheets. * Ductile - can be stretched into wire. * Possess metallic luster. * Opaque as thin sheet. * Solid at room temperature (except Hg). Nonmetals * Poor conductors of heat and electricity. * Brittle - if a solid. * Nonductile. * Do not possess metallic luster. * Transparent as a thin sheet. * Solids, liquids or gases at room temperature


Somthing electrons can move easily through?

Conductors such as metals or liquids allow electrons to move easily through them due to the presence of free electrons that can carry electric charge. Materials like copper, silver, and aluminum are good examples of conductors.


Are all types of metals good conductors?

No, not all metals are good conductors. Some metals, such as copper and aluminum, are excellent conductors of electricity and heat due to their large numbers of free electrons. Other metals, like lead and stainless steel, are poor conductors because their electrons are not as free to move.


What is best conductor of heat among liquids?

Liquid metals such as mercury and gallium are the best conductors of heat among liquids due to their high thermal conductivity. Mercury is often used in thermometers because of its excellent heat transfer properties.


Are metals good or bad conductors?

using the energy band model, i would rank metals as good conductors. The energy gap in metals is negligible, that is the valence band and the conduction band overlap. Thus it is very easy for electrons in the valence band to move to the conduction band thereby conducting currents. Hence metals are good conductors.

There are many examples of conductors such as electricity. Metals and liquids can also be considered a type of conductor.


Are all non metals do not conduct electricity except graphite?

No, not all of them. Liquids with ions dissolved in them are usually very good conductors; and in nature, there are almost always ions in them. The best conductors of all are superconductors - and not all of those are metals, either.

The three main groups of elements are?

The three main groups of elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically solid, shiny, malleable, and good conductors of electricity. Nonmetals are generally dull, brittle, and poor conductors of electricity. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.


What is metal in science?

In science, metals are elements that typically have a shiny appearance, are good conductors of heat and electricity, can be hammered or stretched into thin sheets (malleability), and can be pulled into wires (ductility). Examples of metals include iron, copper, and gold. Metals make up a large portion of the periodic table of elements.
