Most transition metals are good conductors of electricity, copper one of the cheapest and best conductors. Because of its high density, electrons can flow from molecule to molecule without expending excessive energy. Copper is used in many things for conducting electricity. For example, in electric motors, copper wire is spun around a metal core to create electricity with the spinning of it within a magnet.

Is a shiny element element a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Yes, this is mostly true. It starts to become untrue near silicon.
Why is a melted ionic compound a good conductor of electric current but the a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor of electric current?
Upon melting, the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.
Is aluminium a conductor or insulator?
Aluminum is a conductor, and a pretty good one. It acts to conduct quite well. It ranks behind silver, copper and gold. Use the link to a list of things by their electrical conductivity. That link is below, and it is to Wikipedia, of course.Aluminium is a conductor.
Is aqueous sodium chloride is a good conductor of electric current?
Yes, aqueous sodium chloride solution is a good conductor of electricity. Since, it is an ionic salt, when dissolved in water it dissociates into ions and thus the free ions conduct electricity.
Is silicon rectifier a good conductor or good insulator?
It's a good conductor of current flowing in one direction, and a good insulator when current tries to flow in the other direction.
Is a shiny element element a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Yes, this is mostly true. It starts to become untrue near silicon.
Is air a conduction?
Air is a good conductor of sound, and a poor conductor of heat and electric current.

What shiny metal is a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Tranition metals
Is the tap water a good electrical conductor?
Tab water is a conductor of electric current but not a good one due to low degree of ionization of water. But if it has significant amount of salts then it will be a good conductor.
What element is a good conductors of thermal energy and electric current?
a metal
What is an element that is not a good conductor and good isolator?
It is a semi conductor
What type of element was aluminum?
Aluminium is a light weight metal having atomic number 13 placed in the 3rd period and having 3 valence electrons. It is a good conductor of heat and electric current and it does not corrode.
Would a copper wire act as the best insulator of electric current?
no it is good conductor because it has free electrons
