Which of the following is the best thermal insulator APEX?
Zachary Kronlage
Air
(Explanation): water has a high specific heat capacity, but it can boil. stone (😂) also is a good thermal insulator, but it can get really hot. Metal is a very good thermal conductor, so it is definitely not that. Therefore, air is the best (its also really hard to boil).

Is metal the best thermal insulator?
Metal is a very poor thermal (and electrical) insulator. It is a good conductor of heat (and electricity, obviously). Copper (a metal) is one of the best thermal conductors known to man--most laptops use pieces of copper to transfer the heat from the processor and graphics chips to the heatsync (typically aluminum), where the fan can remove the heat. Materials like foam, rubber, etc. are good thermal insulators (think of pot holders...).
Why is vacuum the best thermal insulator?
Heat travels in 3 ways. Conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through collision of particles. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movements of particles (ie. hot particle rises, cold particle sinks). Vacuum is made up of nothing (when there is no particle, it is vacuum), and so, it is unable to transfer heat through conduction and convection at all, making it the best thermal insulator
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.
Which of the following statements best reflects the symbolic-interaction approach to the study of aging?
APEX - Perceptions of aging change with culture.
Is a silver bracelet a conductor or insulator?
Silver is the best conductor there is, no matter what it is made into.
What is a very good thermal insulator?
oxygen.is the best insulator
Is stone the best thermal insulator?
No
Which is an example of a good insulator?
it depends what type of insulator youre talking about. wood is a good thermal insulator and rubber is a good electrical insulator A perfect vacuum is the best insulator.

What material is the best thermal insulator?
Dead air space, or motionless air.
Which type of matter is the best insulator?
Styrofoam is the best material to use as an insulator. Styrofoam is the best insulator, since the temperature of the water in the styrofoam glass decreased the least. If you mean what "state" of matter is the best insulator then you're probably looking for gas as the answer. The state of matter that is best as a thermal insulator is gas.
Which is a good thermal insulator?
The best thermal insulator is vacuum as in the gap of the thermos bottle. Another god thermal insulators is air (as in closed cell polyurethane foam or double glaze windows, or any gas in closed environment.
What is the best definition of a niche apex?
which of the following is the best definition of niche apex
Is sulphur a thermal insulator?
Sulphur is one of the best thermal insulators known, possibly due to the fact that electron-attracting terminal atoms are present.
Why is a plastic handle the best thing?
Because the plastic handle act as a thermal insulator, to avoid burns on your skin.

Which makes a good insulator?
Trapped air is the best, like a thermal flask. Water is pretty good, as well as fabrics in some clothes.
