Because heat is electromagnetic radiation in the infrared region, therefore, it is emitted and absorbed by charged particles. Since there are mainly two kinds of charged particles; protons and electrons, the electrons are the ones involved in the outer part of an atom, and they either emit or absorb the electromagnetic radiation. This is a transfer of energy, which is synonymous with the transfer of electrons.

Is a plastic pipe an insulator?
Yes , plastic is a poor conductor of heat!!:) Metal is a good conductor though
True or false a good insulator is a poor conductor?
The statement ' a good insulator is a poor conductor' is false because a good insulator will not conduct at all.
How is a foam coffee cup a good insulator?
The foam contains air, which is a poor conductor of heat.
Is wood an efficient conductor of heat energy?
No
Styrofoam cups are poor conductors of heat?
Polystyrene is a poor conductor of heat; it is largely used as a thermal insulator.
Is Helium a good or poor conductor of heat?
helium is an insulator (poor conductor) of heat
Is helium a good conductor or poor conductor?
helium is an insulator (poor conductor) of heat
Are animals conductors or insulator?
Leaf is a conductor
Why poor conductors of heat are good insulator of heat?
All of them, a poor conductor does not allow heat to pass through easily, hence any heat inside a box made of a poor conductor would tend to stay there, hence it is an insulator.
Is a plastic pipe an insulator?
Yes , plastic is a poor conductor of heat!!:) Metal is a good conductor though
Is a good heat conductor a good insulator?
It really depends. Glass, for example, does a fair job at conducting heat, but it is an insulator to electricity, which is why it is usually used for the insulators on power lines. Metal, on the other hand, is usually a conductor of electricity, and a conductor of heat as well, so it depends.
What is another way of saying poor conductor of heat?
A Poor Conductor of heat is usually called an insulator.
True or false a good insulator is a poor conductor?
The statement ' a good insulator is a poor conductor' is false because a good insulator will not conduct at all.
How is a foam coffee cup a good insulator?
The foam contains air, which is a poor conductor of heat.
Is wood an efficient conductor of heat energy?
No
Is wood is a conductor?
Wood is not a conductor for electricity. IT is actually a good insulator.
Is wood thermal conductor?
Wood is a thermal insulator. It is a poor conductor of heat.
