no, for example

1) plastics are poor conductors

2) wood is a poor conductor

3) water is a poor conductor of heat

experiment for water:

put an icecube in a tube of water

hold it by a wooden instrument and use a Bunsen burner to heat water from the top

it will boil, put the icecube in the end will jst starT TO MELT!!!!

Which metal is a good conductor of heat?

All metals are good conductors of heat.


Is brass an insulator or conductor?

Brass will conduct both electricity and heat. So brass is a conductor, but not an insulator.


Is lead a cconductor or insulator of heat?

Like all metals, a conductor, but not as good a conductor as, for example, silver or copper.


What element is and good conductor of heat and electricity?

Almost all metals are good conductors of heat and electricity but alkali metals such as silver are very good conductor of heat and electricity.


Is glass a poor conductor?

It depends on whether you mean heat conductor or electrical conductor; in either case it is a poor conductor at room temperature; but at very high temperature it is a good electrical conductor but still a poor heat conductor

Wood is not a conductor for electricity. IT is actually a good insulator.


Mercury a good conductor?

All metals are heat conductors; mercury is not a special case.


Is zinc a nonconductor?

No. Zinc, like all metals, is a good conductor of heat and electricity.


What is a science conductor?

A conductor is an object (usually a solid) that allows heat or electricity to pass through it easily by the process of conduction, which is a method of heat/electricity transfer in which heat/electricity travels through a solid material without actually causing movement of the medium. Copper, aluminium, and pretty much all metals are good conductors. Water is a conductor of electricity but an insulator of heat. An insulator is the opposite of a conductor, and absorbs heat/electricity rather than channeling it. Plastic is an insulator of both heat and electricity. Wood, styrofoam and vacuum (dead air, like in space) are also heat insulators.


What is a good electrical conductor when melted and is a good insulator in its solid state?

Glass is a good conductor when melted. Most precision glass melters use gas burners to get the glass to a molten state, then they use electrodes immersed in the glass to electrically heat it to the required temperature.
