Is iron rod a conductor of heat and electricity?
Iron conducts both heat and electricity very well.
Compare the physical properties of air and gold?
Water is a colorless liquid at room temp. Water freezes at 0C and boils at 100C Gold is a solid at room temp. It conducts heat and electricity readily. Irs color is 'gold'. It can be polished to a high luster. It can be hammerred into very thin sheets (malleable).
How does lighting sound like?
The rapid expansion of gases around the ionized channel that conducts electricity in a lightning strike causes very high amplitude sonic waves to propagate through the atmosphere. A very loud sound (thunder).
What object conducts heat or electricity?
The blunt answer is that ALL materials can potentially conduct heat and electricity (metals, air, water, human bodies, cloth, wood, even rubber, etc), but require the right conditions. A GOOD conductor is one that can transmit heat or electricity or both VERY EASILY under standard temperature/pressure conditions. There are many, many GOOD conductors out there and too numerous to name on this answer board.
Why is tin foil not a good thermal insulator?
because it conducts heat very well.
Is a silver solid that conducts electricity but is not magnetic metal?
Silver is a very conductive metal but it is diamagnetic.
How do you identify if a substance is metal matalloid or non metal?
In simple terms just by looking at them, and doing an electrical conductivity test you can tell the following. the metals are shiny and conduct electricity. The non-metals which are gases or liquids are easy to distinguish. The solid non metals such as sulfur are not shiny and do not conduct electricity. (graphite conducts electricity but is soft and not that shiny). The metalloids look a bit like metals but are very poor conductors of electricity.
Can you list properties of ionic compounds?
-Solid at room temperature -Very high melting points -Conducts electricity when disolved in water
How well does gold conducts heat and electricity?
because gold is a metal it conducts heat and electricity very well
What are the properties of metals-?
They are a good conductor of heat and electricityThey are often shinyThey are ductilethey are malleableProperties of metals include the fact that they are generally shiny, malleable, and hard.
Is gold nonconducting?
No, gold conducts electricity very well.
A substance that conducts very little electricity is known as what?
An Insulator.
Does h20 conduct electricity?
Water conducts electricity very well, except very pure water, which is not what you normally get.
Why is potassium a good conductor of electricity?
Potassium is a very reactive metal, but being a metal, it conducts very well in the solid state. It does not have to be melted, but it will conduct in the molten state as well (but to a different extent).
Mercury conducts electricity but does not breakup in the processwhy?
Mercury does conduct electricity but does not break up in the process because it is very strong.Mercury conducts electricity but does not breakup in the process because it is the electrons that is involved to the conductivity.
What are the chemical propertys of sodium?
Since it is a metal sodium will be sonorous, ductile, malleable, "shiny", conducts heat and electricity. However since it is an alkali metal i would be very difficult to keep shiny since it would be react instantaneously in air.
Is sulfur a gray solid?
no it is shiny yellow and very nice
