What elements are the best insulators?
Non-metals (e.g. sulphur) are usually good insulators, with the exception of carbon in the form of graphite. On the other hand, metals are good conductors of electricity in all states of matter.
Is jute string good conductor of electricity?
ofcourse jute thread is an insulator. conductors are which allow electric current to pass through them ans insulators are those who do not allow .conductors are all metals
The property of a substance that enables it to conduct electricity may also allow the same substance to conduct heat. An insulator does not conduct heat well. What elements are good insulators?
it is called conductivity if it is carrying electric it is electrical conductivity. If it is carrying Heat it is thermal conductivity.
Are there loosely bound electrons in insulators?
In electrical insulators electrons are not able to move freely.
Why are ionic compounds good thermal insulators?
not all non metals are good insulators only the solid non-metals
Where do elements that are good insulators appear on the periodic table?
Generally elements with modest electrical conductivity are at the right of the Periodic Table of Mendeleev: groups 14-18. But they cannot be considered as insulators.
What are three natural occurring elements that are considered to be good insulators?
-- silicon -- germanium -- nitrogen -- oxygen
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.
Which is not a good conductor of heat?
elements with low thermal conductivity are called insulators. they cannot transfer heat in an efficient way. they are not good conductors.
Why are plastic good electricity insulators?
Plastics are a good electrical insulators because they are insulators. Electricity could not pass through them unlike copper. Another good example of insulators is rubber.
Why are blankets good insulators?
Blankets are defined to be insulators.
What kinds of materials make good insulators?
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.
What are some good insulators?
plastic, paper, wood, cardboard, and rubber are all good insulators
Why are Popsicle sticks good insulators?
If they are dry they would act as insulators.
Why are feathers good insulators?
Feathers are good insulators because they trap air. Motionless air is a very good insulator.
Are diapers good insulators?
diapers are good insulators because they hold in the cold and and heat but is a bad conductor
