How does electrical conduction compare between metals, nonmetals, and metalloids

Physics
1 answer:
zhuklara [117]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

metal> metalloids >nonmetals    (Electrical conductivity)

Explanation:

Electrical conductivity of objects can be compared by the bonding energy of electrons in them.

Metals have less bonding energy of electrons, so even at room temperature their are significant number of free electrons to carry electrical current.

Nonmetals have a very high bonding energy of electrons, so  at room temperature negligible number of free electrons are present so electrical conductivity is very low.

Metalloids have both metallic and non metallic features. The electron bonding energy falls in between that of metals and nonmetals. So electrical conductivity also lies in between metals and nonmetals.

How do matter and energy interact to produce weather patterns
nadezda [96]
Weather is caused by different levels of humidity and the difference in the temperature of air which causes wind patterns. Energy from the sun evaporates the water on land. Air also heats up which brings up the water vapor to the atmosphere. This increases the humidity and the chance of rain. When hot is found near the land, this will create a high pressure which will prevent the formation of clouds and produce a fair weather.
