First, let's understand how heat transfers from one object to another. Heat basically is an atom vibrating very fast. So that energy transfers when one atom hits another atom. That means that The denser the substance is, the faster heat will transfer.This is because the atoms will be more likely to hit other atoms if the substance is denser, because the possibility of an atom hitting another atom is much higher if it does not have lots of space to move.
Therefore the best insulator is a vacuum, where there are no atoms to transfer the heat to.

Is sponge a good heat insulator?
it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator
What is the difference between an insulator and a good conductor of heat?
Insulator is a substance that does not allow heat to pass through it example air. conductor is a substance that allows heat to pass through it example metal.
Is foam a good insulator or conductor?
insulator
Is a good heat conductor a good insulator?
It really depends. Glass, for example, does a fair job at conducting heat, but it is an insulator to electricity, which is why it is usually used for the insulators on power lines. Metal, on the other hand, is usually a conductor of electricity, and a conductor of heat as well, so it depends.
Which of these materials would not be a good insulator of electricity?
An example of a good insulator of electricity would be rubber. An insulator is anything that does not conduct electricity and as such offers protection from direct electric current.
Is air good for conductor or insulator?
Yes air is a very goo insulator use a window for example in between the glass is a poked of air they put in it to insulate
