Ceramics are good insulators. They keep heat well because they have a lot of air trapped in them.
Thank you but is there any other substances that can fit this criteria, particularly any metals. I need to be able to use this substance in extension cords so the substance needs to be inexpensive and common.
Boron is generally considered a poor conductor of heat and electricity. As a metalloid, it has some conductive properties, but its conductivity is significantly lower than that of metals. While it can conduct electricity to a limited extent, its primary uses are in ceramics and as a semiconductor rather than as a conductor.
Certain types of ceramics like chromium dioxide, conduct electricity just like metals do. Silicon carbide is a semi-conductor. However, there are also other types of ceramics like aluminum oxide do not conduct electricity at all.
No, gas is not a good conductor of heat. Gases are poor conductors of heat because their molecules are widely spaced and they do not have a fixed structure like solid materials that allow for efficient heat transfer.
Samarium is a good conductor for heat and electricity.
No, ceramics are generally poor conductors of heat due to their molecular structure, which prevents the efficient transfer of energy. This makes them useful for applications requiring insulation or heat-resistance.

Ceramic is not a good conductor of electricity. It is considered an insulator, meaning it does not allow electricity to flow through it easily. However, some ceramics, like piezoelectric materials, can conduct electricity under certain conditions.
Duct tape is not a good conductor of heat. Its composition and thickness make it a poor conductor, so it does not readily transfer heat.
No, a pencil is not a good conductor of heat because it is made of graphite, which is a poor conductor of heat. Heat will not travel easily through a pencil, making it a good insulator rather than a conductor of heat.

Yes it is but it is not good for electricity!!
Phosphate is not a good conductor of heat. It is actually a poor conductor of heat due to its molecular structure, which hinders the transfer of heat energy. This property makes phosphate a good insulator rather than a conductor of heat.
No, milk is not a good conductor.
Aluminium is a good conductor of heat.
Yes, calcium is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Most nonmetals are not good conductors of heat and electricity.
Metals and some ceramics.
