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

What else can I help you with?
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
Bad conductor of heat and electricity is?
insulator
Is glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat, meaning it does not easily allow heat to pass through it. This is why glass containers are often used to insulate hot beverages, helping to maintain their temperature for longer periods.
How plastic is bad conductor of heat?
Because it does not allow heat or electricity to pass them.
Is glass a bad conductor of electricity?
Yes it is. It's used as an insulator in high-power installations.
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.
Why is glass a bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a bad conductor of heat because its molecular structure does not allow for the easy transfer of heat energy through it. The atoms in glass are tightly packed and have few free electrons to carry heat, resulting in poor thermal conductivity. This property makes glass a good insulator against heat transfer.
What the difference between a good conductor and a bad conductor?
A good conductor allows electricity or heat to flow easily through it due to high conductivity, while a bad conductor restricts the flow of electricity or heat due to low conductivity. Good conductors typically have many free electrons that can move easily, while bad conductors have fewer free electrons, making it harder for electricity or heat to pass through.
Is a candle good conductor of heat?
Candle is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Why is glass a bad conductor of electricity?
Glass is a bad conductor of electricity because its atomic structure lacks free-moving electrons, which are necessary for the flow of electrical current. Unlike metals, where electrons move easily through a conductive lattice, the electrons in glass are tightly bound to their atoms, making it an insulator rather than a conductor.
Sulfur is a bad conductor of what?
electricity! Because it is a non-metal
Is a plastic bag a good conductor?
No, because plastic is an insulator making it a very bad conductor of heat.
