the substances that allow heat to pass through them easily are called heat conductors.
the substances that do not allow heat to pass through them easily are called heat insulators.

Are insulators good conductor of heat?
Insulators are the complete opposite of conductors. Insulators insulate the heat, but conductors let it pass straight through.
Differences between conductors and insulators?
Conductors let energy (such as electricity and heat) flow through them easily while insulators do not.
If conductors allow heat to pass readily what do insulators do?
reduce the amount of heat passing though
Why conductors conduct heat and electricity while insulators are known as poor conductors?
Conductors conduct heat and electricity well because they have delocalised electrons in their structure. Insulators, on the other hand, do not have delocalised electrons and therefore do not conduct heat and electricity as a conductor, although they do conduct to some extent.
Are insulators dull brittle and poor conductors?
Insulators are conductors
Are insulators good conductor of heat?

Differences between conductors and insulators?

Are metals conductors or insulators?
In general, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Why some of the materials are insulators?
They are bad conductors ,they do not allow heat transfer.
What is another word for poor conductors of heat and electricity?
These are called insulators.
Are humans conductors or insulators?
humans are not insulators, but are conductors!

Are metal gold and copper good heat insulators?
No. Both metals are good conductors of heat.
What isn't a good conductor of heat?
Insulators, such as wood aren't very good conductors of heat.
If conductors allow heat to pass readily what do insulators do?
reduce the amount of heat passing though
What are poor conductors of heat and eletricity?
Insulators- like foam, rubber, etc
What allows heat energy to pass through it?
Heat conductors allow heat energy to pass through; heat insulators do not.
