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.
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.
Yes, most metals are good conductors of heat.
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.
Metals and some ceramics.
Metals and some ceramics.
Copper and aluminum. Most heat sinks are made of Aluminum (cheap and a good conductor of heat).
