The molecules in a gas (e.g., air) are farther a part than those in a liquid or a solid material. Heat is transfered by means of molecular agitation within a material. Since the molecules are relatively distant from one another in a gas, molecular interactions are more dispersed over time and in direction.

Is sponge a good heat insulator?
it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator
What TA make a good insulator?
Trapped air makes a good insulator.
What makes something a good insulator?
Trapped air makes a good insulator.
Why would a polystyrene cup be a good insulator of heat?
Polystyrene is a substance that when in a solid state has a lot of holes. These holes trap air inside them and since air is a good insulator, the polystyrene cup is a good insulator. *Air is only a good insulator when not moving, hence why a breeze feels cold.
Is air a good thermal insulator?
it depends how thick the air is!

Why is a wool a good insulator?
it is a good insulator because its a warm and keeps heat in by trapping it with air
Is air a good thermal insulator?
it depends how thick the air is!

Is coal a insulator?
Yes, because it has lots of trapped air in it and that's what makes a good insulator.
