Answer 3

There are many, but some include Aluminum, Bismuth, Gallium, Indium, Lead, Thallium, Tin, Ununhexium, Ununpentium, Ununquadium, and Ununtrium.

Answer 4

Aren't all metals good conductors of electricity?

Answer 5

One common example of a poor electrical conductor is lead.  There are alloys that are created that may include lead, and are used in fuses.  When the total current through the fuse's resistance makes too much heat, then the fuse link melts, and protects the rest of the circuit by opening it, and turning of the power to that circuit.  Most modern systems use circuit breakers that can be reset to protect circuits, but low melting point alloys where once the most common protection devices.

Answer 6

Iron....

Answer 7

Tungsten
