Definitely an electrical insulator. Glass does not conduct electricity.
It can be a thermal insulator, but not a great one. You windows on a cold day are pretty cold. Hot coffee in a mug will get the mug warm.

Is glass a conductor or insulator of thermal or electrical energy?
Glass is an insulator of both energies. It does not conduct thermal energy because only it's surface warms up. It does not conduct electrical energy because its atoms do not have free electrons, which cause this process in metals.
Is a glass microscope slide an electrical insulator or a conductor?
Yes, a glass microscope slide is an electrical insulator. Glass is generally considered an electrical insulator.
Is glass a conductor or a insulators?
Glass is an electrical insulator. But glass more readily conducts heat.
An example of a insulator?
An insulator has several different meanings. The two most common are an electrical insulator and a thermal insulator. an electrical insulator would be polyethylene. a thermal insulator would be wool.
Is a glass a thermal insulator?
insulator. it is not a very good insulator though.
Is plasticine a conductor or insulator?
Plastic is an electrical and thermal insulator.
Is glass a thermal condutor or insulator?
insulator. it is not a very good insulator though.
What is a type of insulation?
There is more than one kind of insulation, the main types being thermal and electrical. Fiber glass is commonly used for thermal insulation, and rubber is a good electrical insulator.
What does glass do with heat?
Glass does not "do" anything with heat. Glass is not a (thermal) insulator though.
Is steel a insulator?
No, steel is neither a thermal (heat) nor electrical insulator
Does diamond demonstrate electrical conductivity?
No. Diamond is a thermal conductor, but an electrical insulator.
Why does the glass on a window pane feel cooler to the touch than the wood frame surrounding the glass?
Wood is a better thermal insulator than glass, which is easily cooled.
