Is Polystyrene a good thermal conductor?
No, it's not, though it's better than you might think if you equate polystyrene with Styrofoam. Styrofoam is made of polystyrene, but it's the trapped air that makes it such a good insulator.
Is air a good conductor of electricity?
Air is a relatively-very-poor electrical conductor. If it were any good as a conductor,then you would need to keep your spare batteries in vacuum containers, to preventtheir becoming discharged through the air between their terminals.
Explain how air can become a good conductor and what happens when this occurs?
air can become a good conductor when it is heated to very high temperatures
What is a Radiation conductor?
Vacuum is a good radiation conductor, and on a good day, the sunshine feels warm. Air is less good, but still a fair conductor.
Is wool conductor of heat?
Wool holds lot of air. As air is a bad conductor of heat, this makes the wool a bad conductor of heat, but a good insulator.
Is ceramics a good heat conductor?
Ceramics are good insulators. They keep heat well because they have a lot of air trapped in them.
Is air a good conductor of air?
No, it is not.

Is air a conduction?
Air is a good conductor of sound, and a poor conductor of heat and electric current.
Explain how air can become a good conductor and what happens when this occurs?
air can become a good conductor when it is heated to very high temperatures
Which is a poor conductor of heat silver iron wood or copper?
cork, the air inside the cork isolates. (air when trapped inside a vesicle is a great isolator)
What is a Radiation conductor?
Vacuum is a good radiation conductor, and on a good day, the sunshine feels warm. Air is less good, but still a fair conductor.
Is oxygen a good conductor of electricity?
No, oxygen is not a conductor of electricity because its in the air.
Is wool conductor of heat?
Wool holds lot of air. As air is a bad conductor of heat, this makes the wool a bad conductor of heat, but a good insulator.
Is air a good conductor of electric charge?
Under some circumstances such as presences of the quantity of gases present in air some times air acts as good&bad conductor of electricity.
What TA make a good insulator?
Trapped air makes a good insulator.
