To save you time I have answered this question,when i was doing it for homework one
day it took me THREE hours to find it out so...
Glass is a poorer conductor of heat than most metals because it has fewer free electrons.Heat is conducted by particles when they collide or interact ,so with glass having few free electrons it takes MUCH longer (about fourteen minutes!!) to conduct heat than metals do.
Here are my science teachers EXACT words "Metals are better conductors than glass because they have a greater number of free electrons which, besides particles colliding or interacting ,are a second mechanism of transferring heat"
THIS IS THE RIGHT ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So if you are set this question for homework in about year 8 ,then write that quote and you are GUARANTEED to get top marks!
Lots of luv

Examples of bad conductor of heat?
Most things are not conductors of heat, or electricity. This means that the substances contain a large number of free electrons. Some of these are water, plastic, rubber, glass, lead, and wood.
What does bad conductor mean?
there are no good or bad conductor there are conductor ,semiconductor and isolator.
Why is copper a good insulator?
Answer 1Copper [CU] is NOT A GOOD INSULATOR. On the contrary, it is a very excellent conductor of both electricity AND heat! Answer 2Glass, some kinds of rubber, most plastics, vinyl. Most materials are SOMEWHAT conductive and act differently at different temperatures. PURE glass is one of the best insulators. Answer 3If copper was to be a bad conductor..then copper vessels and cables wodn exist,,it s a very good conuctorof heat and electricity
Does electricity travel through copper?
Cork should be a poor conductor. Cork is a lite wood like, low density material. Often used to insulate heat, which is a clue. Things that are not good conductors of heat are normally poor conductors of electricity.
Is mica an electrical insulator?
Mica has such poor electrical conductivity that it has often been used as an insulator. The resistivity of mica ranges from 1x10^12 to 2x10^14 Ω/cm depending on the type of mica. For reference, copper, a good conductor, has a resistivity of only 1.68×10^−8 Ω/m or 1.68x10^-10 Ω/cm. no, it is an insulator.
Which is bad conductor of electricity but good conductor of heat?
glass, ceramic,diamond, are somtricitytte of the conductor of hear but bad conductor of electricity meher n sethna
Is glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat.
Is a candle good conductor of heat?
Candle is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Is ceramic a bad conductor of heat?
Why is glass a good conductor of heat and ceramic is not a good conductor of heat?
Why is glass a bad conductor of electricity?
there is no metal to conduct to.
Bad conductor of heat and electricity is?
insulator
How plastic is bad conductor of heat?
Because it does not allow heat or electricity to pass them.
Is cermaic a good conductor?
No. Ceramic is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Is chlorine a good or bad conductor of heat and electricity?
I believe chlorine would be a bad conductor of electricity. Not sure about the heat. Usually one would want to stick to using a type of metal and stay away from most liquids when trying to conduct electricity.
Is glass a bad conductor of electricity?
Yes it is. It's used as an insulator in high-power installations.
Why coordinate covalent compound are bad conductor of heat and eletricity?
because there is free electrons(ions) to conduct heat and electricity.
What are bad conductor of electricity?
glass, rubber, sulphur, wood, cloth, paper, ...
