∙ 6y agoIt would actually be metal, metalloid, and nonmetals!!! :)

∙ 14y agoThe carbon allotrope we call diamond has the highest thermal (heat) conductivity of any material. It is far better an any metal (or anything else we know of) at allowing heat to pass through it. It is carbon (in its graphite allotrope) that has the highest electrical conductivity under normal conditions of any of the nonmetals. Any metal is a better electrical conductor, but carbon is good enough to make brushes for electrical motors out of. You'll recall that the brushes complete the electrical circuit between the wiring of the non-moving elements to the rotating commutator.
metal--> nonmetal --> metalloid
One way to differentiate between a metal and a nonmetal using an instrument is by measuring their electrical conductivity. Metals generally conduct electricity well, while nonmetals are poor conductors. Instruments such as a conductivity meter or multimeter can be used to measure this property and distinguish between metals and nonmetals based on their conductivity.
You would expect the insulation around an electrical outlet to be made from a nonmetal material. Metalloid metals are typically not good insulators and could conduct electricity, which could be dangerous in this context. Nonmetal materials, such as plastics or rubber, are commonly used as insulators to prevent the flow of electricity.
Because it doesn't have the properties of a metal.
Yes, fluorine is a nonmetal. It belongs to the group of elements on the periodic table that are nonmetals, characterized by their low electrical conductivity and brittle texture.
It would help if you specify whether you are talking about thermal conductivity, or electrical conductivity. Diamond certainly doesn't has the highest electrical conductivity. Its thermal conductivity is one of the highest known, and - if a synthetic diamond is made from pure (99.9%) C-12, it is indeed the highest. The Wikipedia article attributes this to a strong covalent bonding.
Chlorine is a poor conductor of both heat and electricity. It is a nonmetal with low electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity due to its atomic structure and lack of free-moving electrons.
Chlorine is a poor conductor of electricity and heat. It is a nonmetal element with low electrical and thermal conductivity properties.
Silver is a solid metal. It is known for its lustrous appearance, ductility, and electrical conductivity, all of which are typical characteristics of metals.
covalent and molecular
Nitrogen is a nonmetal. It is a gas at room temperature and lacks the characteristics of metallic elements such as luster and conductivity.
Examples: malleability, ductility, thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, solid state, magnetism, high melting point, etc.
Bromine is a nonmetal because it lacks the properties of a metal, such as high electrical conductivity and malleability. It is instead a halogen in group 17 of the periodic table, sharing characteristics like low melting point and high reactivity with other nonmetals.
Corrosion forms a layer of non-conductive material on the surface of the metal, which interferes with the flow of electrons and decreases conductivity. This layer acts as a barrier that hinders the movement of electric charge through the metal, leading to a decrease in conductivity.

metals, because if you read it also says conductivity, an that is how well something transfirs. eltricity
