What are some everyday insulators?

How would you summarize what sort of materials are insulators and which are conductors?
Conductors are usually made of metals. The reason why the handle of a metal spoon gets hot in a hot bowl of soup is because metal is a conductor of heat. Insulators are usually made of materials such as styrofoam, plastic, and paper. That is why when you buy a cup of coffee at a cafe it is given to you in a paper cup.
What are good examples of heat insulators?
vacuum, styrofoam, plastic, wood, glass, rubber
What cup is easier to hold with hot water a plastic one or metal?
a styrofoam cup. i tried it on my science project
What substances are the best insulators?
Usually nonmetals. Rubber, plastic, wood, cloth, paper, Styrofoam, tinfoil (to reflect the heat.)The most common insulator for electricity is plastic.
What type of cups are better insulators?
styrofoam cups are great insulators.
What are of the best insulators of cold?
Styrofoam
What is a styrofoam cup?
a cup made out of styrofoam...........................................................................................................................................................................
In which cup does ice melt faster a plactic stirophone or paper and why?
Ice will typically melt faster in a plastic or styrofoam cup compared to a paper cup. This is because plastic and styrofoam are better insulators, meaning they transfer heat more efficiently than paper. Therefore, the heat from the surroundings will more readily reach the ice in a plastic or styrofoam cup, causing it to melt faster.
Why is styrofoam cup a good insulator?
Styrofoam cups are good insulators because they are made of polystyrene, which has a low thermal conductivity. This means that heat transfer through the material is minimal, keeping the contents of the cup insulated from external temperature changes. The air pockets within the foam structure also contribute to its insulating properties.
What are good insulators to keep something cool?
its tinfoil and Styrofoam
What are materials that do not easily transfer heat?
Insulators such as asbestos and styrofoam.
What are examples of insulators of heat?
styrofoam, rubber, air, vacuum
What are some everyday insulators?
styrofoam cotton plastic paper cheese
Which type of cup will keep a hot drink, warm longer paper, plastic, Styrofoam or glass?
Styrofoam cups are generally the best at keeping hot drinks warm for a longer period of time. This is because Styrofoam is an excellent insulator, meaning it does not conduct heat well and therefore helps to keep the temperature of the drink constant. Paper cups and plastic cups are also decent insulators, but they are not as effective as Styrofoam. Glass cups are poor insulators and are not recommended for keeping hot drinks warm.
What is the average mass of a Styrofoam cup?
The average mass of a Styrofoam cup is approximately 5 grams.
Why do styrofoam cups make good insulators?
stylofoam cups are poor conductors of heat, hence when a exothermic chemical reaction is carried out inside a stylofoam cup, the heat given out cannot be dissepated into the environment via the walls of the cup. Therefore the cup acts as an insulating material.
