No. Glass is used as the OPPOSITE of a conductor- it is an insulator. This is the reason telephone poles used to use glass objects that looked similar to bells to tie the telephone wires to the poles. For a better conductor of energy, look to metals. Aluminum and copper are excellent conductors, as is gold.
Myella! Glass is an insulator... hehehaha.
Glass is an electrical insulator. But glass more readily conducts heat.
Marble is an insulator.
Glass is a nearly-perfect insulator.
Glass would be the insulator of the choices given. All the other items are metal (conductors) or water (minerals cause conductivity).
Yes. Wood, plastic, and glass are all indeed an insulator. The reason being is that neither of those conduct energy well. But a few materials that would be very good CONDUCTORS would be copper, tin, or aluminum. Hope that helped ;)
Glass is an insulator, as it DOES NOT conduct current. It is a material which has no free electrons available to flow as electrical current. Conductors, like copper or aluminum, have free electrons, or electrons in the outer shells of their atoms that are easily knocked loose. These electrons flow from negative to positive when an electrical potential (voltage) is applied across the material. We call the flow of electrons "current".
Well a conductor attracts electricity like silver, copper, gold and aluminum. But a insulator repels electricity like glass, rubber, oil, and wood. Trust point me if this helped, Thanks!

Steel, aluminum, plastic, rubber, glass, & copper.
Aluminum is a conductor and glass is an insulator. Conductors allow the flow of energy transfer, but insulators block this transfer of energy. So by definition, Yes, aluminum conducts cold or heat(energy) transfer faster than glass.
Mostly plastic with some glass, copper, and possibly aluminum.

Yes, a glass microscope slide is an electrical insulator. Glass is generally considered an electrical insulator.
Marble is an insulator.
