Yes, styrofoam is full of air cells and air is a good thermal insulator. Styrofoam has poor solvent resistance, and poor hot performance.

Yes, Styrofoam is not a good conductor of heat.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo. Styrofoam take longer time to be heated than plastic.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoit does conduct heat it makes sure that no heat gets in
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoit is very good insulator
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNot at all. Styrofoam is an insulator.

Is styrofoam a good insulator to keep hot water hot?
Yes, because it does not conduct heat.
What materials conduct heat and which do not?
Insulators do not conduct heat and are therefore non-metals. Metals do conduct heat, and vey well may i add. But, for the record, you're thinking of electricity. Potatoes conduct heat, and they're not metals. Anyone who has held a lump in their hand will tell you that playdough conducts heat, in fact, rather a lot of other materials conduct heat and water also conduct heat
Will the recorded temperature change for an exothermic reaction performed in a glass calorimeter be greater or less that?
The recorded temperature change for an exothermic reaction performed in a glass calorimeter is less than the Styrofoam cup calorimeter. This is because the glass will conduct heat away more than the Styrofoam.
Is a cable cover a good heat conductor?
Not usually. They tend to be made of plastic material. They will melt but do not conduct heat well
Which material is most likely to conduct heat well is it water or gold?
I think it is water
What are good insulator and bad insulator?
some good insulators are glass styrofoam and almost anything that does not conduct heat very well
Why is styrofoam?
Styrofoam is actually a plastic with lots of tiny bubbles trapped inside of it. Because the foam is packed with bubbles, there is relatively little plastic to conduct heat. The bubbles themselves are too small to set up a convection current, and don't conduct very well because they are gaseous. As a result, the Styrofoam works as an insulator, only letting heat transfer through it slowly
Is styrofoam a good insulator to keep hot water hot?
Yes, because it does not conduct heat.
Does water conduct heat well?
it does , conduct heat well , just like it conducts electricity , heat can be produced to electricity , too
Does metal conduct heat well?
yes. metals conduct heat and electric current well.
Does germanium conduct heat?
Germanium is a metal that does conduct heat, but does not conduct heat as well as other metals. This makes it a semiconductor.
Does argon gas conduct electricity and heat?
gases do not conduct heat or electricity well. metals conduct both well. but argon is a conductor
What is an object that does not conduct heat?
Anything with lots of air pockets within the material. Soft wood, layers of cardboard, styrofoam of course.
Is styrofoam a better insulator of heat than plastic?
Styrofoam is a better insulator of heat than plastic. The plastic allows the heat in and out and the cold in and out. The Styrofoam helps keep the heat in.
What does conduct heat well?
Insulator
Is argon a conductor of heat and electricity?
gases do not conduct heat or electricity well. metals conduct both well. but argon is a conductor.
What is a substace that doesn't conduct heat well is an?
A heat insulator.
