Is glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat.
How does a tight fitting plastic stopper on a flask minimise heat transfer?
It prevents heat transfer by convection as it prevents contact between the surrounding air and air inside the flask. It prevents heat transfer by conduction as it is a poor conductor of heat.
Is milk a good conductor or a poor conductor?
no
Is xenon a conductor?
No, it is a very poor conductor.
Why is hollow hair a good insulator?
It insulates well for the same reason as double-pane glass: The air in the middle is a poor conductor of heat.
Should you use a flask which is a good conductor of heat or poor conductor to keep the tea inside the flask warm?
a poor conductor of heat. a good conductor of heat will allow the heat to pass though the flask and escape cooling the tea. so a poor conductor just to clarify.
Is glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat.
Is glass an thermal conductor?
Yes, but a relatively poor one.
Is glass a poor conductor of heat?
Generally glasses are thermal insulators.
Is glass a poor conductor?
It depends on whether you mean heat conductor or electrical conductor; in either case it is a poor conductor at room temperature; but at very high temperature it is a good electrical conductor but still a poor heat conductor
How does a tight fitting plastic stopper on a flask minimise heat transfer?
It prevents heat transfer by convection as it prevents contact between the surrounding air and air inside the flask. It prevents heat transfer by conduction as it is a poor conductor of heat.
Is helium a good conductor or poor conductor?
helium is an insulator (poor conductor) of heat
Are poor conductor nonmetals at room temperature?
Poorly conducting nonmetals can be at a wide range of temperatures and still conduct poorly. Glass, for example, is a poor electrical conductor whether at room temperature, or very hot, or very cold.
What are some of the different types of insulation?
An insulator is a poor conductor of energy. For example; Rubber is a poor conductor of electricity Rock is a poor conductor of heat A sponge is a poor conductor of sound.
What is the ability called when heat or electricity passes through?
Conductor Some materials are conductors of Heat OR Electricity. But the property is not the same for one material; example glass is a good conductor of heat but a poor conductor of electricity.
Which is a poor conductor in the periodic table?
Nonmetals are generally poor conductor
Is wood a poor heat conductor?
Wood is a poor conductor of heat.
