What is a poor conductor of heat?
A poor conductor of heat is usually refereed as an insulator, the reason being is because Metal conceives over thousands of particles, these particles then vibrate between one another causing it to spread dramatically, this process speeds up the heating, enabling it to be hotter then usual. However, None-Metals are called "Insulators" Insulator meaning the particles are either too close to each other or spread out further, a wooden spoon can be described to be a insulator because it doesn't conduct with heat.
Name three examples of silicates?
quarts, feldspar and mica
What is the general name given to nonconducting materials?
Insulators is the name given to nonconducting materials.
What material does not allow electrons to flow through it?
An insulator or a dielectric is the generic name for a material which does not allow electrons to flow through it. Many polymers such as PE, PP, PVC etc are insulators. Ceramics such as hardened clay are also insulators. Others include:glassrubberbakeliteoilsphosphorussulfurwoolsilicone rubberssilicone oilsteflonnylonpolycarbonateacrylicabsetc.Such materials are insulators. Insulators are materials that don't have free electrons available for the flow of electrons, which is called an electric current.Insulators are either pure elements which have a "full" outer electron shell (containing 8 electrons, which makes a full set for the shell) or they are compounds that have their electrons completely bound, with none available to flow away in a current.Further notes:All insulators can have their outer shell electrons broken loose if a high enough voltage is applied. This is called the dielectric breakdown voltage."Conductors" are elements that have only 1 or 2 electrons in the outer shell. These elements' electrons are loosely bound to their atoms and are already moving around in the crystalline structure. The application of a voltage to a conductor will cause these electrons to flow from negative to positive. This flow is what is called the current.
Is a Lucite a conductor of electricity?
Lucite is a trade name for poly-methyl methacrylate. Other names for it are Plexiglas, Acrylite, and Perspex. It's used as a substitute for glass, and is not an electrical conductor.
Name three examples of a conductor?
Meddlemeddle spoongold/silver
Name 2 insulators?
Insulators are materials or substances that do not readily allow the passage of sound or heat. Two examples of insulators are glass and porcelain.
What is the scientific name of a substance that lets electricity flow through it?
A substance that lets electricity flow through it is called a conductor (or sometimes, to be more explicit, it is called an electrical conductor). Substances which do not permit the flow of electricity are called insulators.
Does perspex conduct electricity?
Perspex is brand name for the poly (methyl methacrylate) and is not a good conductor of electricity.
What is the name of insulators?
Insulators in electricity can be glass or ceramic.Insulators in heating can be polystyrene or fibre panels.

Name three medditerranean countries?
Italy, Greece, and Cyprus are three examples.
What is the name of a material that let's electricity pass?
A conductor. Examples Copper, Gold, Iron, Silver, etc, etc. Any metal.
Name three countries that border france?
