∙ 11y agoThe group of elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity are called NONMETALS.
You are able to find nonmetals on the Periodic Table in groups 14-16.
Examples of nonmetals include: hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen.

What are some of the different types of insulation?
An insulator is a poor conductor of energy. For example; Rubber is a poor conductor of electricity Rock is a poor conductor of heat A sponge is a poor conductor of sound.
What is the best substance that to conduct heat?
Actually diamond is the best conductor of heat, and a diamond film substrate is used as a heat conductor in some microprocessors. Silver and copper are the metals more commonly used as heat conductors because of cost.
What materials conduct heat and electricity?
The best conductor for heat and electricity is any type of metal element.
Is sugar a conductor or non-conductor of heat?
Everything conducts heat and electricity (if the voltage is high enough). Some things do it well, some things do it poorly. Sugar is one of those things that does it poorly. Actually not every thing conducts electricity such as rubber even if at high voltage
Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity are?
All Non-Metals are poor conductor of electricity.
Is poor conductor is also poor heat the reason?
Both Electricity and Heat are forms of energy. If an element were a poor conductor of both it would simply mean that particular element was a poor conductor of energy.
What is an element that is a poor conductor of electricity heat and forms negative ions?
Nonmetals
Which element is a poor conductor of heat Aluminum Iron Ceramic or Zinc?
ceramic
Is wood a poor heat conductor?

Is carbon a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
Carbon is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
Is Helium a good or poor conductor of heat?
helium is an insulator (poor conductor) of heat
Why air is poor conductor of heat?
air is poor conductor of heat because we can,t feel
Is helium a good conductor or poor conductor?
helium is an insulator (poor conductor) of heat
Is glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat.
What does non-metal mean?
A nonmetal is an element that tends to be dull, brittle, and a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
What is another way of saying poor conductor of heat?
A Poor Conductor of heat is usually called an insulator.
Is Polyethylene a good conductor of heat?
It is a medium to poor conductor of heat
