Materials that are not good conductors or and not good insulators are called?
Semiconductor
What are materials that transfer thermal energy well called?
Materials that transfer thermal energy well are called good themal conductors. The metals are generally good conductors of heat (thermal energy).
Good conductors of electricity are often good conductors of heat?
Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.
What is the name of materials that are not good conductors of electricity?
They are called insulators. Rubber is an example of a good electrical insulator.More:PlasticGlassAirWoodCeramicPorcelainPaperVarnishMineral OilSlateMarblePolyethyleneSiliconePVCKaptonTeflon

Solids that are good at moving heat from one end to the other are called?
Materials that can conduct heat are called good conductors of heat and electricity. Most of the time, these materials are metals. Nonmetals are not good conductors of heat.
What are materials that transfer thermal energy well called?
Materials that transfer thermal energy well are called good themal conductors. The metals are generally good conductors of heat (thermal energy).
What are the substances that conduct heat are known as what?
They are called good thermal conductors.
What are elements called that are good conductors of heat and electricity?
Non metals :P
What are Solids called that are good at moving heat from one end to the other?
conductors
Why are certain metals good conductors of electricity?
They are good conductors of electricity because the outer electrons in each atom can easily come and go called a free flow of electrons.
What is the characteristic of a material that hinders electron flow?
It is called resistance Good conductors have a bad resistance While bad conductors or insulators have good resistance against the flow of electricity

What is a good conductor of heat called?
Metals are good conductors of heat. Plastics and wood are very poor.
Is a metal and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
