What else can I help you with?
Is water or polystyrene a better insulator?
Polystyrene is a better insulator than water because it traps air molecules within its structure, creating a barrier to prevent heat transfer. Water, on the other hand, is a good conductor of heat and can easily transfer heat energy.
An object that can transfer heat easily is an?
An insulator. More specifically, a thermal (heat) insulator, as opposed to an electrical insulator, which suppresses the flow of electricity.
Is clay a good conductor of heat?
No, clay is not a good conductor of heat. It is considered to be an insulator, meaning it does not easily transfer heat.
Is nitrogen a good insulator of heat?
Nitrogen is not a good insulator of heat. It is a poor conductor of heat, but it is not an effective insulator as it does not trap heat well and can easily transfer heat through convection or conduction.
Is cork an conductor or an insulator?
Cork is an insulator. It has low thermal and electrical conductivity due to its cellular structure which traps air and reduces the transfer of heat or electricity.
Do you say insulator of heat or bad conductor of heat Which is correct Or both are correct?
well, i think both would be correct, though a "bad conductor of heat" would be better. Or you could say "insulator for heat" or simply insulator....
Is a sponge an conductor of heat or insulator?
A sponge is an insulator of heat because it is porous and does not conduct heat well. It traps air within its structure, which helps to prevent the transfer of heat.
Is iron nail a thermal insulator?
No, it is a conductor. Get one end hot, the heat is conducted to the other end pretty quickly.
Is Styrofoam a conductor or an insulator?
Styrofoam is an insulator. It has low thermal conductivity, meaning it helps to reduce the transfer of heat and cold.
Is silver a heat insulator or a heat conductor?
I think it is a conductor because it is a metal.
Is wood an efficient conductor of heat energy?
No
Is a polystyrene cup a insulator or a conductor?
A polystyrene cup is an insulator. It is made of a non-conductive material that does not easily transfer heat or electricity.
