Hmmm....
It would be hard to say any material was a non-conductor of heat, although certainly some materials are better heat conductors than others.
Carbon forms Graphite and Diamond, both of which are relatively good heat conductors. (Graphite is also a good electrical conductor).
Air and gasses tend to be poor heat conductors due to the rarefied nature of their molecules. and the best insulators such as silica aerogel utilize this, as well as limiting convection.
What else can I help you with?
What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
Why non metals don't conduct heat?
Most non-metals have covalent structures. These structures do not allow heat energy to travel from one point to another. In metals the heat energy quickly travels from one point to another due to vibration of the free electrons in the electronic cloud surrounding the metal ions. In non-metals, the electrons are bond inside the atom so cannot help in transfer of heat energy.
Are nonmetals nonconductors?
Most non-metals are in fact considered to be non-conductors. Some non-metals however do have the ability to conduct heat and electricity.
Do non-metals store heat?
Logically think it through
Is conduct heat metal or non metals?
i think it is metal
Is a nonconductor a metal or non metal?
Almost everything is a good conductor of sound, but a conductor of heat and electricity are usually only metals. A nonmetal can be an insulator, or something that doesn't conduct things, for heat and electricity.
Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity are?
All Non-Metals are poor conductor of electricity.
How does the electrical and heat conduction of metals and non metals compare?
Electrical and heat conduction is much greater in metals than in non metals.
Do non metals contuct heat?
Non metals do not conduct heat. They have high resistance.They are insulators.Non metals do not have a pool of 'free electrons' (as metals do with metallic bonds). Hence they generally are poor conductors of heat. Nonmetals such as Styrofoam are widely used as insulators. Graphite is an exception as it is a good conductor of heat with its free electrons.Most of the non metals does not conductors because the do not have free electrons. But graphite is a good conductor. Most of the non metals are insulators.
What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
Is a metal or non metal a nonconductor?
Almost everything is a good conductor of sound, but a conductor of heat and electricity are usually only metals. A nonmetal can be an insulator, or something that doesn't conduct things, for heat and electricity.
Difference between metals non metals?
There are a number of ways in which a metal can be differientiate a metal from a non-metals, these involve contrasting the properties between metals and non-metals and testing them to distinguish them from one another. Some contrasting properties between metals and non-metals: 1.) Metals conduct electricity whereas non-metals do not. 2.) Metals are shiny whereas non-metals are not. 3.) Metals are malleable whereas non-metals are brittle. 4.) Metals often have a higher boiling/melting point than non-metals. 4.) Metals are hard whereas non metals are not.
What is poor conductor of heat and electricity metals non-metals or metaloids?
Nonmetals
Why non metals don't conduct heat?

Are all non-metals non-conductors of electricity and of heat consider these 2 examples separately?
The heart of a computer etc is a chip made of semiconductor's not made of metal. 'Teflon' is a popular nonmetal coating for cooking utensil's. So the answer is that non metals can conduct electricity and heat.
Do metals or non metals conduct heat better?
Metals are better conductors and non-metals are better insulators. Metalloids can be either a conductor or an insulator, it depends on the object.
Is Nobel gases metals or non metals or metalloids?
Non-metals, they are all gases.
