What conductor has the best electrical conductivity at room temperature?
Silver has the best electrical conductivity at room temperature among all natural materials. It is commonly used in electrical wiring and components due to its high conductivity.
Is barytes an electrical conductor at room temperature?
No, barytes (barium sulfate) is an insulator and does not conduct electricity at room temperature. It is often used in applications where electrical conductivity is not desired.
What makes zinc a superconductor?
Zinc is not a superconductor at room temperature. It becomes a superconductor when cooled to temperatures below its critical temperature, which is around 0.85 K. In its superconducting state, zinc exhibits zero electrical resistance and expels magnetic fields, allowing for the lossless flow of electrical current.
Which element would most likely be a shiny solid at room temperature and a good conductor of electricity?
Gold, silver, copper.
What is graphite at room temperature?
Graphite at room temperature is a soft, black, crystalline form of carbon. It has a layered structure composed of hexagonal rings of carbon atoms. Graphite is a good conductor of electricity due to its delocalized electrons.
