Is polystyrene a conductor?
polystyrene along with other porous (objects which have a lot of air in them) such as Styrofoam water, wood and other materials are insulators, not conductors.
Is Polystyrene a good thermal conductor?
No, it's not, though it's better than you might think if you equate polystyrene with Styrofoam. Styrofoam is made of polystyrene, but it's the trapped air that makes it such a good insulator.
What is better conductor wood or glass?
It depends if the wood is damp or dry; if damp, then wood is much better - although still much worse than metals. However, if the wood is dried - oven dry is the technical term - then glass and wood are about the same.
Is a cup a good conductor?
It's not the object that matters, but what it's made of . A metal cup will be a very good conductor, and an expanded polystyrene one a very poor conductor.
Is wood an efficient conductor of heat energy?
No
Is polystyrene conductive?
no it is not a electrical conductor

Are substances like wood and plastic better heats conductors like metal?
We find that metal is a better conductor of heat than plastic or wood.
Why is wood the best conductor?
Wood is not a good conductor.
Is iron and wood is a better thermal conductor to identify independent and dependent?
iron is a better thermal conductor but i do not know what you mean by identify independent or dependent variables. in an experiment? i am not sure.
Is wood a poor heat conductor?
Wood is a poor conductor of heat.
Is expanded polystyrene a thermosetting or thermoforming plastic?
Polystyrene is a very poor conductor of heat. This is why its used as an insulator in some products.
Is iron and wood is a better thermal conductor to identify independent and dependent variables?

Is glass or metal a better conductor?
Glass has a higher conductivity than thin plastic but,it is still lower than metal so metal may be a better conductor
Is wood can let the bulb to light up?
Wood can not let a light bulb light up because wood is a very poor conductor of electicity. A better conductor would be types of metals such as copper or gold, which is used in many electronics.
