A material that is not a good conductor of heat is a called an?
Insulator, same as for electricity. An example of insulators (of heat) is Styrofoam.
Will ice melt faster in plastic or styrifoam?
it is a greater conducter of heat than styrofoam
How well does styrofoam conduct heat?
Yes, styrofoam is full of air cells and air is a good thermal insulator. Styrofoam has poor solvent resistance, and poor hot performance.
What are heat retaining objects?
Styrofoam and other similar insulators retain a good amount of heat. Anything composed of metal is a conductor and will move heat through it.
Why is metal a heat conducter?
because it's a good heat conducter Electric conductors tend to be good heat conductors, but the above seems reasonable.
What is very good conductor of heat?
The element carbon is a nonmetal, and in its allotropic form of diamond, it's the best natural conductor of heat we know of. It's far and away better than any metal as well.
Is iron a good conducter of heat?
Of course it is!
Styrofoam cups are poor conductors of heat?
Polystyrene is a poor conductor of heat; it is largely used as a thermal insulator.
What is the best heat conducter?
Silver is the best conductor of heat. Titanium is the hardest metal. potassium cyanide is the most poisonous compound
Is a silver bracelet a conductor or insulator?
Silver is the best conductor there is, no matter what it is made into.
