Ceramic is a porous material. It has many small air pockets in it which help to reduce heat conduction. The heat does not transfer easily to air so the transfer is held back by these pockets and the heat is retained in the contained liquid or material. The atomic structure of ceramic accounts for its ability to retain heat due to the configuration of bound atoms or ions. A more crystalline structure will have less heat transferred and will retain more heat.

Is Ceramic is an alloy?
no. alloys are mixtures of metals. Ceramics are formed from clays that have been heated and partly vitrified

What are examples of ceramics?
Ceramics are inorganic, non metallic materials formed using heat. Examples include bricks, clay pots, porcelain, titanium carbide, silicon carbide, ect. If you googled 'examples of ceramics' you would be sure to find many examples.
How are each of the three types formed?
well the sedimentary is formed by heat and pressure
Is ceramics a good heat conductor?
Ceramics are good insulators. They keep heat well because they have a lot of air trapped in them.
Do ceramics conduct electricity?
Certain types of ceramics like chromium dioxide, conduct electricity just like metals do. Silicon carbide is a semi-conductor. However, there are also other types of ceramics like aluminum oxide do not conduct electricity at all.
Do ceramics keep heat from the inside?
yes
Why does a house use Ceramics?
Ceramics are used for many types of tile. They can be extremely hard wearing.
How does ceramics fit into heat and temperature?
Ceramics fits into heat and temperature in a way that the majority of ceramics have to be heated to gain the strength and durability as needed, and where there is heat there is temperature. Also because some ceramics are used for heat insulating for example the fire bricks or refractory bricks that are used to build kilns and fire places because they can with stand high temperatures while heating or firing.
What are good conducters of heat?
Metals and some ceramics.
What are good conducting heat?
Metals and some ceramics.
What makes a good insulator of heat?
The most common usage of (thermal) insulation of heat are Ceramics.
