Why water is bad conductor of heat?

Answer 1

Water is bad conductor of heat due to its chemical composition. Water contains oxygen and hydrogen both of which are poor conductors of heat.

Answer 2

Water is a bad conductor of heat because the particles in water have much space between them compared to solids. It takes more time for the particles of water to contact each other and transfer heat.

Answer 3

Yes, water is a poor conductor of heat. Even though when you heat water in a pan it gets hot quickly....... it still is a poor conductor of heat.Yes, water is a poor conductor of heat. Even though when you heat water in a pan it gets hot quickly....... it still is a poor conductor of heat.

Answer 4

The metal has a higher conductivity and a lower heat capacity than the water. The heat will spread rapidly through the metal, and less energy is needed to heat a given quantity of metal, meaning it will get hot very quick. Water requires a lot of heat to increase in temperature, and heat spreads slowly through water, meaning it will heat up more slowly.

Answer 5

Water dissipates heat rapidly.

Usually metals absorb heat more faster than the water, because of its atomic atructure. metels are the good conducters of heat than water. so it gets much hot than water.

Answer 6

Water is a bad conductor of heat because the particles in water have much space between them compared to solids. It takes more time for the particles of water to contact each other and transfer heat.

Answer 7

it is because the water gets quickly evaporate

Answer 8

The water is getting hot ,because the metal of the pan is a good conductor of heat so it warms the water.

Answer 9

It has much space compared to solid

Answer 10

You already known that water have many molecules between them. On the other hand, between the molecules, air is present. So water is not get Suffectiontly heat, So, water is a bad conductor of heat
