An insulator prevents the transmittance of energy across a medium. Sound, through the molecules in air, can transmit sound energy across distance. Since air can conduct sound, it is not an insulator.

Is air a good conductor of electricity?
Air is a relatively-very-poor electrical conductor. If it were any good as a conductor,then you would need to keep your spare batteries in vacuum containers, to preventtheir becoming discharged through the air between their terminals.
Why air is considered as a bad conductor?
Air is quite a reasonable conductor of sound, of radio waves, and of radiant heat. It is not a good conductor of say, electricity, because of the lack of free electrons, which are needed for electrical conduction.
What is the best conductor of electricity between air water wood and glass?
water is the best conductor of electricity, compare to air the atoms in water is more closely to each other and that makes water more conductive than air, glass can be conductor it depends on it composition but not as good as water and wood is not a conductor unless it's wet.
Is plastic a sound conductor or insulator?
conductor
What is the correct descending order for the media through which sound travels with the most efficient conductor of sound listed first?
Solid, liquid & air
Is air a conduction?
Air is a good conductor of sound, and a poor conductor of heat and electric current.
Which is best conductor of sound?
music
Why presence of moisture increases speed of sound in air?
because water is a batter sound conductor than air

What needed for a sound to be heard?
A conductor of sound (e.g. - air, water). Also, a receiver of sound (e.g. - an ear)

Which of these materials is the best conductor of heat air iron water or wood?
Iron is the best conductor. Metals in general are good conductors of heat because of their delocalised electron bonding.
