good conductors are materials that can conduct electricity and heat efficiently

Subject:ChemistryPrice: Bought3

good conductors are materials that can conduct electricity and heat efficiently. Most good conductors are metals but carbon (a non-metal element) also conducts electricity (pencil lead electrical switch experiment). Examples of good conductors are iron rods and copper wires.

on the other hand, bad conductors are materials/matter that can conduct heat and electricity partially or in most cases, doesn't conduct heat and electricity at all. Bad (weak conductors) are usually non-metal and such as water (##H_2O##), plastic and paper. Although, there are some covalent molecules that conduct electricity in aqueous state such as aqueous hydrochloric acid, ##HCl## as there are free moving ions in the solution.
