Gas particles are very far apart. So heat can't be passes, the heat escapes

Are liquids and gases good insulators?
Gases are good insulators because most insulating materials which have gas filled pockets which means gases are good insulaters. Hope this helps :)
Are all insulators and conductors solids?
No, most gases are good insulators. Fluids can be good conductors. Mercury is normally a liquid and is a good conductor.
Are gases thermal insulators?
Yes. Gases have low thermal conductivity, so if you keep convection low (bulk movement of the gas) they are good thermal insulators. Refractive bricks used in kilns (high temperature ovens) made of silica and some other low conductivity materials are made intentionally porous.
Why are blankets good insulators?
Blankets are defined to be insulators.
Why are feathers good insulators?
Feathers are good insulators because they trap air. Motionless air is a very good insulator.

No, most gases are good insulators. Fluids can be good conductors. Mercury is normally a liquid and is a good conductor.
Gases are good insulators because their molecules are?
because they are so far from one another and they are scattered unmannerly, so compressing means to bring them closer..
Is gas a good conductor of electricity?
Air and other gases are usually good insulators but sometimes they can be good conductors
Are gases good heat insulators?
Gas particles are very far apart. So heat can't be passes, the heat escapes
Why are plastic good electricity insulators?
Plastics are a good electrical insulators because they are insulators. Electricity could not pass through them unlike copper. Another good example of insulators is rubber.
Are gases thermal insulators?
Yes. Gases have low thermal conductivity, so if you keep convection low (bulk movement of the gas) they are good thermal insulators. Refractive bricks used in kilns (high temperature ovens) made of silica and some other low conductivity materials are made intentionally porous.
Why are blankets good insulators?
Blankets are defined to be insulators.
What kinds of materials make good insulators?
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.
What are some good insulators?
plastic, paper, wood, cardboard, and rubber are all good insulators
Why are Popsicle sticks good insulators?
If they are dry they would act as insulators.
Why are feathers good insulators?
Feathers are good insulators because they trap air. Motionless air is a very good insulator.
