cork, the air inside the cork isolates.

(air when trapped inside a vesicle is a great isolator)

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)


How do the physical properties of iron and copper compare?

Iron is a harder and more brittle metal than copper. Copper is a better conductor of electricity and heat compared to iron. Additionally, copper has a reddish-orange color while iron is a silver-gray color.


The copper is an insulator?

yes copper is actually a very good insulator to both heat and electric conducting A2: NO. Copper is about the second-best electrical conductor, next to silver. It is also a very Good heat conductor. Try heating an iron poker in a fire. The heat travels slowly to the opposite end. A copper wire, however, if stuck in the fire, will transfer heat Very quickly--you won't be able to hold the other end of it! wikipedia.org/copper


Why is copper a better condutor of heat than iron?

Copper is a better conductor of heat than iron because it has a higher thermal conductivity. This is because copper's atomic structure allows heat to transfer more efficiently through its lattice. In contrast, iron has a lower thermal conductivity due to its crystal structure which hinders the flow of heat.


Materials such as silver and copper are said to be good insulators?

No, they are good conductor. Insulator is something electricity and heat can't pass through easily. e.g. wood, rubber Conductor is something electricity and heat can easily pass through. e.g. iron, silver, copper

Why iron is not a good conductor of heat if it compair to copper?

Copper has relatively easily available electron as compare to the iron because copper has bigger atomic size than iron which means the shielding effect in copper is more than iron so the electron of copper can conduct heat more easily and efficiently as compare to the electron of the iron which make iron not a good conductor of heat if it is compair to copper.


5 example of good conductor of heat?

Some good conductores of heat are metal, iron, gold, silver, aluminum, brass, silicoborates, wax, steal, copper, nickel, and water.


Is silver poor conductor of heat?

Silver is an excellent conductor of heat, ranking second only to copper in terms of thermal conductivity. This property makes silver widely used in applications where efficient heat transfer is required, such as in electronics and thermal management systems.

Is iron a poor conductor of heat and electrity?

Not a poor conductor. But conductivity is less compared to copper.


Is water a best conductor of heat?

Not exactly. That is why it warms up with heat. A good conductor of heat like copper or iron is best conductor in comparision to water.
