No because there both different things so that makes them different conducters


Are non metals good conducters of heat?

no they are not. for example they are used as insulators in double glazing and flasks. if they were good conductors this would not work the heat would pass through.

Conductors is a thing where an electricity can flow freely while the Insulators is a thing where electricity is not allowed to flow freely.


How is sound insulator similar to and different from a heat insulator?

Sound insulators are similar to heat insulators in that they both aim to reduce the transfer of energy, but they work in different ways. Sound insulators absorb and dampen sound vibrations, while heat insulators reduce the transfer of heat through conduction, convection, or radiation. Materials that are good sound insulators may not necessarily be good heat insulators and vice versa.


Why do birds space themselves evenly when sitting on a wire?

How are superconductors different from insulators?

Superconductors are materials that let current or electricity pass through them. Insulators are materials that don't allow current or electricity to pass through them. Superconductors are mostly all metals. Insulators are wood, plastic, and paper.
