Diamond is an excellent conductor of heat, and one of the quick tests that miners use is to put the stone on their tongue to feel if the stone is cold. This test is also used to verify diamonds by a probe.

This may be also partially why diamonds are referred to as ice.

Diamond is an insulator.


Is a diamond an insulator?

Diamond is usually a good insulator, and as it also has the highest thermal conductivity, these properties are used as a substrate under semiconductor chips for extracting the heat. But some blue diamonds are a semiconductor, due to boron trace contamination, and these are used as a semiconductor material.

Is sponge a good heat insulator?

it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator


Is nitrogen a good insulator of heat?

Nitrogen is not a good insulator of heat. It is a poor conductor of heat, but it is not an effective insulator as it does not trap heat well and can easily transfer heat through convection or conduction.


Is a diamond a thermal and electrical conductor?

A diamond is a superior conductor of thermal energy (heat). It's better at this than anything else we know of. But diamond is a poor conductor of electricity. It's actually a pretty good insulator.


An object that can transfer heat easily is an?

An insulator. More specifically, a thermal (heat) insulator, as opposed to an electrical insulator, which suppresses the flow of electricity.


What is a good insulator and why?

a good insulator of heat keeps the heat in, so you stay warm


What does the term 'insulator' means?

insulator is a object that is not a good conductorSo it keeps the heat in.


What does a heat insulator do?

. A insulator is an element in the genetic code.
