Is glass a good conductor thermal energy?
No.
Is glass a poor conductor of heat?
Generally glasses are thermal insulators.
Is mercury a better conductor of heat than glass?
No, it is not. The best thermal conductor among the metals is silver, and it is the best electrical conductor as well. There is a general "rule" in the natural world that thermal and electrical conductivity are proportionate among metals; they "track" together. If a metal is a better thermal conductor than another metal, it will be a better electrical conductor as well. It should be noted that the best thermal conductor of all known materials is the allotrope of carbon we call diamond. Interestingly, diamond is an electrical insulator.
Is a glass vacuum thermos vacuum better than a stainless steel vacuum?
Theoretically yes because glass is a poorer thermal conductor than steel.
Is wood thermal conductor?
Wood is a thermal insulator. It is a poor conductor of heat.
What is the thermal conductivity of a perfect conductor?
The thermal conductivity of a perfect conductor is 1
A material that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal?
Something that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal...conductor. If it does not conduct well it is called an insulator.
Is aluminum an insulator or conductor of thermal energy?
Aluminum is a conductor of thermal energy and electrical energy.
What would be an example of a good thermal conductor?
Graphene is the best thermal conductor. Any metal or metallic objects such as a frying pan would be a good thermal conductor, including diamond.
Can heat move easily through a good thermal conductor?
Yes, that is what "good thermal conductor" means.
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 glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat.
