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....
What are some examples of poor insulators?
In general, metal or anything else that conducts heat or electricity well is a bad insulator.
Why the wood is bad conductor of heat?
It is due to the arrangement of molecules of wood. As the molecules of wood is far from each other it cant pass heat through its molecules. For that wood is a bad conductor.

Why wood is a bed conductor?
Wood is a bad conductor of heat because wood is a covalently bound compound, meaning they don't have loose electrons that move around freely. When talking about electricity, wood is a good insulator because of its resistance of electrical flow.
What causes a trunk to catch on fire?
bad wiring

What causes something to be a conductor?
It can't be caused. A good conductor is something like a metal, the best conductor of heat is gold. If you have ever touched metal that has been in the sun, it's really hot because it is a good conductor of heat. A bad conductor is something like wood because it doesn't get hot. We can't tell it wood has been in the sun for a while.
