A heat conductor is a material that readily transports heat from one location to another through the process of conduction. Some materials with high melting points are actually good insulators and very poor heat conductors, whole some materials with low melting points may be good conductors.

What are the macroscopic properties of solids?
Very hard, very high melting point, poor conductor of electricity and heat, and not soluble in water.
What is the meaning of good conductor of heat?
It is a material which can transfer heat through conduction.
What material best transfer heat?
Metals are known to be good conductors of heat as well as good conductors of electricity. Diamond is an exception though, being one of the best thermal conductors but a very poor electrical conductor.
What material doesnt allow heat to flow through easily?
Conductor
A material that is not a good conductor of heat is a called an?
Insulator, same as for electricity. An example of insulators (of heat) is Styrofoam.
What are leads properties?
Heavy. very malleable, a good conductor of electricity and heat it has a low melting point and is also a reasonably poisonous material.
Soft low melting solid which is a good conductor of heat?
The metal lead. Solid at room temps, low melting point, good conductor of heat and electricity.
Why does the temperature become constant at the point of melting till the whole substance of a solid melted?
That happens because any heat that is added to that melting material will be used to cause further melting, until there is nothing left to melt, at which point the added heat can raise the temperature. A solid melts at its melting point; it does not get hotter than the melting point without melting, that's why it is the melting point.
How do you remove silicon?
Heat the material up to melting point then hose it with oxygen
Does the melting point of aluminum change with the thickness?
The melting point of any given substance (such as aluminum) has nothing to do with the thickness or shape of the material being melted. It will melt at the same temperature. But it does require more heat in order to heat a thicker piece of aluminum to its melting point.
What is a heating conductors?
A heat conductor is a material that moves heat energy between two points, and does so without involving fluid motion (convection), and without significant point-to-point radiation.Some examples of conductors of heat are....metalsteelblack paintplasticwhat is a conductor
What are some metallic properties?
high melting and boiling point, good conductor of electricity and heat, solid at room temperature (except mercury)
Is a styrofoam a good conducter of heat or a bad conductor of heat?
It is a bad conductor of heat, that is why it is used as an insulating material.
What are the macroscopic properties of solids?
Very hard, very high melting point, poor conductor of electricity and heat, and not soluble in water.
Which material has the poorest conductor of heat?
Glass
The heat needed to melt one gram of a solid at its melting point is what?
The heat needed to melt one gram of a solid at its melting point depends on the heat of fusion value of the solid. To melt one gram of ice, for example, would require 334 J.
What is nonmetal?
Element that has a low melting point and a dull surface, breaks easily, is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, and tends to gain electrons in a chemical reaction....
