What does It mean when one substance is known to be better conductor of heat than another?
It has more free electrons in the outer energy band.
Do all objects equally conduct or absorb heat?
No. The ability to conduct heat (known as thermal conductivty) is a unique property of a substance. Metals, for instance, typically conduct heat better than nonmetals. But diamond is the best thermal conductor of all. The ability to absorb heat (known as specific heat) is likewise unique for different substances.
Difference between a bare conductor and a insulated conductor?
A bare conductor is a conductor that does not have any type of insulation covering it. Insulated conductors (also known as coated) have a covering that protects them from outside sources.
What does it mean if something is a good conductor?
A good conductor is a substance that will easily carry loose ions, also known as electricity. Many metals are good conductors. Conductors have many modern applications. Any wire that carries an electrical current has to be a conductor of some sort. On the contrary, substances that do not conduct electricity are known as insulators. Rubber is a very common insulator.
A material through which a current can pass?
Commonly known as a conductor.
Which isbetter conductor?
One conductor is usually better or equivalent to another. In order to say, with certainty, as to which conductor is better, the types of conductors being compared would have to be known.
What does it mean when one substance is known to be a better conductor of heat than the other?
It can mean it will let electricity pass through it easier.
What does It mean when one substance is known to be better conductor of heat than another?
It has more free electrons in the outer energy band.
A substance that lets electric charge pass through it is known as what?
A Conductor.
What is the direct transfer of heat from one substance to a another substance that is Touching?
It is known as: conduction.
What properties are seen when one substance changes to another known as?
chemical .
When homogeneous mixture in which one substance is dissolved in another substance is known as a?
This is a homogeneous solution.

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.
What is a zero-conductor?
A zero-conductor is also known as a negative supply conductor.
What is the name given to a person who conducts an orchestra?
A conductor Conductor The conductor is also known as "Maestro".
Is phosphorus chloride a conductor?
Phosphorus trichloride is not known as a conductor.
