Why is boron nitride a conductor?
No, boron nitride is often used as an insulator in the semi-conductor industry.
What gas is hydrogen?
Hydrogen gas is an extremely high explosive gas often used to make bombs...
Where chlorine gas is used to kill bacteria?
It is often used in pools to kill both algae and bacteria that is produced.
Is a ruler a conductor of electricity?
Plastic is generally used as an insulator. A plastic ruler would not be a conductor of electricity.
Does paper conduct electricity?
At low voltages (<100V) paper is an insulator. At HT potentials (>1000V) the paper will break down as an insulator and start to conduct.
Can you give an example of a gas used as an insulator?
Argon gas is used in windows.
Is fiberglass a insulator or a conductor?
Fiberglass is a good insulator. It's often used in home insulation!
Is fiberglass a conductor or a insulator?

How might you use an unreactive nonmetal gas?
Nonreactive gases (or noble gases) are often used as a shielding gas to prevent atmospheric contamination, or as an insulator in high voltage circuitry. They are also often used to modulate wave frequencies for anything from light to radar to X-rays.
What is perlite used in?
Hi there, Perlite is used as an insulator on board Liquefied Natural Gas Tankers. This is used as a thermal and fireproofing insulator to reduce the risk of fire and explosion
What mineral is often used as an insulator is electrical equipment?
Mica. Mica Mica
Is a flame an insulator or a conductor?
Flame is composed of very hot gas; as such it would not be used either as an insulator or as a conductor, but one could make an argument that it is a conductor, since it does conduct heat and since it does contain some ionized gas, it can conduct electricity.
What is often used in a switch as an insulator?
Bakelite, a trademark used for any of a group of synthetic resins and plastics.
Is elastic a conductor or insulator?
Since elastic is rubber and rubber is an insulator, then yes, elastic is an insulator.
Why is gas a good insulator?
its gay
Why is boron nitride a conductor?
No, boron nitride is often used as an insulator in the semi-conductor industry.
Is black foam a good insulator?
Polystyrene foam is a good insulator. The characteristics that make polystyrene is a good insulator stems from its composition of long polymer chains and because it encapsulates regions of gas in the form of a closed cell foam. Air and gas in general are poor conductors of hear when convection is inhibited as it is in a foam. (The form used in insulation is often a closed cell foam, but that is not the only form taken by polystyrene.)
