What else can I help you with?
What are some good insulators?
plastic, paper, wood, cardboard, and rubber are all good insulators
Why are ionic compounds good thermal insulators?
not all non metals are good insulators only the solid non-metals
Are metals thermal insulators?
omdat je nou eenmaal moet poepen!!
What of the following is an example of a thermal insulator A still air B gold C zinc D lead?
A. Still air is an example of a thermal insulator because it has low thermal conductivity, meaning it does not easily transfer heat. Gold, zinc, and lead are all metals with higher thermal conductivity and are not good insulators.
What materials do not transfer heat easily?
Materials such as wood, rubber, plastic, ceramic, and glass are known to be poor conductors of heat and do not transfer heat easily. These materials have low thermal conductivity, which means they are able to insulate and resist the flow of heat energy.
What elements are the best insulators?
Non-metals (e.g. sulphur) are usually good insulators, with the exception of carbon in the form of graphite. On the other hand, metals are good conductors of electricity in all states of matter.
Are all insulators and conductors solids?
No, insulators and conductors can be found in various states of matter. While many are solids (such as metals being conductors and plastics being insulators), there are also liquid and gaseous substances that can exhibit insulating or conducting properties.
What are three good insulators of heat?
Three good insulators of heat are, maybe plastic, wood and glass! That's all I can think of right now but plastic and wood are very good insulators (etc. used of saucepan handles)
What carries electric current not easily?
Electrical insulators. Materials such as rubber, plastic, wood, air and some ceramics are all poor conductors of electricity, or good insulators.
What will not carry electricity?
insulators. All the insulators. Like fabrics
What does all insulators have in common?
All insulators share the common characteristic of having high electrical resistance, which prevents the flow of electric current. They are typically made from materials that do not allow electrons to move freely, such as rubber, glass, or plastic. This property makes insulators essential for protecting against electric shock and ensuring the safe and efficient operation of electrical systems. Additionally, many insulators also exhibit low thermal conductivity, making them effective at resisting heat transfer.
Is a poor conductor of heat?
Most metals are good conductors of heat, but lead and stainless steel are exceptions. Air is a poor conductor of heat as are fibrous or layered materials. Cloth made from cotton or asbestos or sisal would be poor conductors. Mica would be an example of a layered material that is poor. In most thermal insulators, all you are buying is still air, because still air is (almost) the poorest conductor of heat among the simple materials. Hence the construction of most thermal insulators.
