Styrofoam cups are poor conductors of heat?
Polystyrene is a poor conductor of heat; it is largely used as a thermal insulator.
What does an electrical insulator have?
Electrical insulators are made from materials that are poor conductors of electricity. Metallic elements are good conductors, non metallic elements are poor conductors. Some materials used as insulators are, paper, glass, ceramics, rubber and plastics.
Materials that are poor conductors of heat?
Materials that are poor conductors of heat are Plastic and Wood "example."
Are insulators dull brittle and poor conductors?
Insulators are conductors
What the materials used to make potholders to be poor conductors of heat?
Yes, that's correct.
What are poor conductors of heat used for?
Insulation
Why are alloys poor conductors of electricity?
Alloys are a combination of two or more elements. Not all alloys are poor conductors, in fact many are used specifically as conductors.
Are poor conductors of heat poor conductors of electricity?
Yes.
What are uses of nonmetals?
Non metals are used as insulators (poor conductors)

Why do you call metals as poor conductors?
Metals are poor conductors as they offer resistance to the flow of electrons however super conductors offer less or no resistance
What are some poor conductors of heat?
Poor conductors of heat are generally also poor conductors of electricity. These would include most gases, ceramics and man-made plastics. A vacuum will not conduct heat either.
How do you account for fair and poor conductors of electricity?
The mobility of the electrons in matter. Tightly bound electrons make for poor conductors.
