∙ 12y agoaluminum being a group III element has 3 mobile electrons.it's these electrons that are responsible for the conductivity of heat .

∙ 13y agoIts actually a very poor heat conductor. That's why we use it too keep our food still warm/cold. Aluminum traps the heat/cold into the container so its fresh

Is aluminium a good heat conductor?
Yes, aluminium is a good conductor of both electricity and thermal energy. It can also be a superconductor (in proper conditions).
Is aluminium a conductor or insulator?
Aluminum is a conductor, and a pretty good one. It acts to conduct quite well. It ranks behind silver, copper and gold. Use the link to a list of things by their electrical conductivity. That link is below, and it is to Wikipedia, of course.Aluminium is a conductor.
What metal is the best conductor of heat aluminium iron or brass?
Aluminum have better thermal conductivity than ironAluminum: 205W/(m K)Iron: 80 W/(m K)
Is Polyethylene a good conductor of heat?
It is a medium to poor conductor of heat
Is copper a bad heat conductor?
