All elements will conduct heat to some extent.
metals conduct heat and electricity the best; metalliods conduct heat and electricity good too but not as good as metals. nonmetals are poor conductors.

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.
What material conducts electrical energy well?
Copper cables are reputed to carry electricity well.
How well a material conducts heat?
The property of a substance called the thermal conductivity indicates how well or how poorly a substance conducts heat. Insulating materials have a thermal conductivity around 0.02 to 0.08 Btu per hr - ft - F degree. A good conductor of heat like steel pipe has a thermal conductivity of about 24 Btu per hr - ft - F degree.
What are thermal coductors?
A good thermal conductor is a material that conducts the heat well. These are usually metals which is why pots and pans are made out of them but not the handle. They are the opposite of thermal insulators so this means that the heat can get across the material quickly whereas an insulator keeps the heat in so the heat cannot get through as quickly.
Why is tin foil not a good thermal insulator?
because it conducts heat very well.
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.
Material that condscts thermal energy well?
a conductor does, while an insulator poorly conducts thermal energy!
A material that conducts thermal energy poorly?
A material that doesn't conduct heat well is called an insulator.
What do you call a material that conducts heat well?
A material with a good thermal conductivity or a thermal conductor.

Thermal energy is the total energy of the particles in a material true or false?
No, There could be atomic states (optically excited electronic energy levels of atoms, and of semiconductors for example) that can store energy which is not regarded as heat (which can be sensed by a thermometer). Magnets can store lots of energy which is not thermal. Thermal energy is the energy which is stored as vibrations of atoms and molecules, detected by a thermometer of some kind.
Why is tin foil not a good thermal insulator?
because it conducts heat very well.
What is the average speed of energy?
There is no single answer. Electromagnetic energy moves at the speed of light, about 300,000 km/sec. Acoustic energy moves at the speed of sound in whatever medium you are using. Kinetic energy moves with the speed of the moving body. Thermal energy moves through a conducting body at various speeds, depending on how well the material conducts heat. So energy as a general term does not have a specific speed.
What happens to thermal energy when temperatures increase?
When the temperature of a material increase, thermal energy is added to the material. It also increases the kinetic and potential energy of the particles. When the temperature reach the boiling or melting point, the kinetic energy stays the same, but the thermal energy and the potential energy still keeps adding and increasing. And when ONLY the potential energy increase, the state of the material changes from one to another.
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).
