Why does a metal spoon handle gets hot in soup but a plastic spoon handle does not?
A metal spoon handle gets hot in soup because metal is a good conductor of heat, meaning it can easily transfer heat from the hot soup to the handle. On the other hand, plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so it does not easily transfer heat from the soup to the handle of a plastic spoon. This is why a metal spoon handle will feel hotter to the touch compared to a plastic spoon handle when used in hot soup.
Why doesn't a plastic spoon get as hot as a metal spoon?
Plastic is a poor conductor of heat compared to metal, so it takes longer for heat to transfer through a plastic spoon. This means that a plastic spoon will not become as hot as quickly as a metal spoon when exposed to heat.
Why is a spoon a good conductor?
Electrons in metals are delocalized, the movement is free.
Why doesn't a plastic spoon get hot in a cup of tea?
It does. Any object will heat up (or cool down) to the ambient temperature.
Is a spoon a good insulator or conductor?
A spoon is a good conductor of heat and electricity due to its metal composition. Metal materials like stainless steel, which spoons are commonly made of, allow heat or electricity to flow easily through them.
Why would it be better to use a plastic spoon instead of a metal spoon to eat on a hot day?
Metal is a good conductor of heat. Plastic is a poor conductor of heat. On a hot day the plastic spoon may stop you scalding your mouth if it is left out in the sun.

Why doesn't a plastic spoon in your hot chocolate feel hot to your hand?
Because plastic isn't as good a conductor of heat as metal.
Why is a spoon a good conductor?
Electrons in metals are delocalized, the movement is free.
Is plastic a good conductor of heat?
yes!
Why doesn't a plastic spoon get hot in a cup of tea?
It does. Any object will heat up (or cool down) to the ambient temperature.
Why does a metal spoon get hot in a pot of boiling water?
'nothing, it's like putting a spoon in a hot soup' Wrong ^ As the metal spoon is a better conductor of heat than the air the hot water (or soup) and the spoon as a larger surface area with the air (or active sight) it transfers heat to the surrounding faster, thus cooling the hot liquid faster.
Is a silver spoon a insulator?
No, its a conductor in fact silver is the best conductor
Is a spoon a good insulator or conductor?
A spoon is a good conductor of heat and electricity due to its metal composition. Metal materials like stainless steel, which spoons are commonly made of, allow heat or electricity to flow easily through them.
Is CD a good conductor of heat?
No, CD (compact disc) is not a good conductor of heat because it is made of polycarbonate plastic, which is a poor conductor of heat. As a result, CDs do not transfer heat efficiently.
Is a spoon a insulator?
Yes, a spoon is typically made of metal, which is a conductor of electricity and heat. However, in terms of electricity, a spoon can act as an insulator if it is coated with a non-conductive material like plastic.
