Which type of matter is the best insulator?
Styrofoam is the best material to use as an insulator. Styrofoam is the best insulator, since the temperature of the water in the styrofoam glass decreased the least. If you mean what "state" of matter is the best insulator then you're probably looking for gas as the answer. The state of matter that is best as a thermal insulator is gas.
Is a Styrofoam cooler conductor or insulator?
Insulator
Why is styrofoam cup a good insulator?
Styrofoam cup is a good insulator because it is coated with foam
Is Styrofoam a conductor or an insulator?
it is very good insulator
Is glass a better insulator than styrofoam?
no

What does an insulator do to electrical current?
It stops the flow of the electrical current.
What is a better insulator wool or Styrofoam?
styrofoam. Because it has a plastic base
Is styrofoam a better insulator of heat than plastic?
Styrofoam is a better insulator of heat than plastic. The plastic allows the heat in and out and the cold in and out. The Styrofoam helps keep the heat in.
