What property makes a material a good insulator?
No shared electrons between neighboring atoms/molecules in the material makes for a good electric insulator.A good thermal insulator has lots of air or gas (which insulates) trapped in the material.
A material that conducts thermal energy poorly?
One material that conducts thermal energy poorly is Styrofoam. This material has a low thermal conductivity due to its high concentration of trapped air pockets, which hinders the transfer of heat. This property makes Styrofoam a good insulator for keeping things cool or warm.
What makes a material a good insulators of heat?
Hot molecules moving makes a good heat insulator
Is quartz a conducting material or insulator?
Insulator.
What does Good electrical insulator mean?
An insulator is a material that does not conduct well, so an electrical insulator is a material that does not conduct electricity well. A metal is a bad electrical insulator as it has delocalised electrons, therefore conducts electricity, but most plastics and materials like rubber do not conduct electricity, so they are good electrical insulators. Hope that makes sense and helps? :3AnswerAn insulator is a material with insufficient free charge carriers to support conduction.
What is an elctrical insulator?
any material that does not conduct electricity is an insulator.
Is shoe lace conductor or a insulator?
Most probably an insulator. But shoe lace isn't a material, it's an item. And it's the material that decides if an item is an insulator or not.
Is material a insulator?
Yes but it depends on the type of material.
What makes something a good insulator?
Trapped air makes a good insulator.
Which material get easily charged by rubbing and what such material is called?
An insulator Becomes statically charged when rubbed against another insulator
What makes a good electrical insulator?
An electrical insulator is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely. Rubber, glass, paper, and Teflon, which have high resistivity, are very good electrical insulators.
What do you call material that does not let heat through easily?
A insulator (a thermal insulator)
