Physics, Chemistry and Biology: Post your doubts here!

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

There is no naturally existing metal that is a non-conductor.
But their free electrons can be extracted using the latest methods. (which is out of the syllabus)
The New Artificially created metals can be made Non-Conductors.
But No naturally occurring metal is an insulator. That's a Fact!

Well, that makes sense. Then, which metal could it be? All of them have free electrons.

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

Love your conclusion..''Hence that question was wrong."

Hahah, Thanks.

So, yeah..the question was wrong!

Exactly, that's what i said.

All metals conduct electricity in solid state.

dude I got the answer its platinium

 

[princess sofia]

Conduction does not depend upon the position of the metal in the reactivity series. Platinum is one of the least reactive metal but it is a good conductor.

no my teacher told us the answer its platinium

 

[princess sofia]

Every Metal has the property to conduct Electricity.
Copper is like one of best conductors in the world.
Metals possess free moving electrons due to Metallic Bonding.
These Free Moving Electrons allow Metals to conduct electricity.
Since all metals (even mercury) have free electrons, they all conduct electricity.
Hence that question was wrong.

it wasn't it was our best teachers challenge to us n she had taught thx to us b4 and we had forgotten , the ans is platinium I ll post the whole explaination soon

no my teacher told us the answer its platinium

Can't be. Platinum is used in electrolysis using inert electrodes. It definitely conducts electricity.

I l post explaination as sson as I get it in written form btw my teacher is an expert in chemistery and also had remained chemist in some department for 10 years

I will reply once I see his explanation.

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

Platinum does conduct Electricity.
Every Article on the internet says that.

Right. Platinum is known to be used in industries for electrolysis. If it doesn't conduct electricity, electrolysis using platinum electrodes is impossible.

Exactly, Every naturally existing metal conducts Electricity!

Let's see how the teacher justifies it.

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

Let's see how the teacher justifies it.

Yeah, Looking forward to seeing the teacher justify something that is against scientifically proven facts.

 

[Iridescent]

Yeah, Looking forward to seeing the teacher justify something that is against scientifically proven facts.

Haha. It has to be against the facts!

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

Haha. It has to be against the facts!

Ofcourse its against the facts!
I'm not going to agree with this new teacher whatever, unless she's the new Einstein and has made some kind of new discovery about platinum not being able to conduct electricity! -__-

Let's see what it is first before coming to any conclusions

Okaay.
