Is styrofoam a better insulator than wood?
Yes
Is cardboard a better insulator than styrofoam?
No, it's not
Why do styrofoam cups keep water hot for longer than and paper cups?
It's a better insulator
Is air or fiberglass a better insulator?
i hope air is better than fibre glass
Is Polystyrene a good thermal conductor?
No, it's not, though it's better than you might think if you equate polystyrene with Styrofoam. Styrofoam is made of polystyrene, but it's the trapped air that makes it such a good insulator.
Is styrofoam a better insulator of heat than plastic?
Styrofoam is a better insulator of heat than plastic. The plastic allows the heat in and out and the cold in and out. The Styrofoam helps keep the heat in.
Is styrofoam a better insulator than wood?
Yes
Is cardboard a better insulator than styrofoam?
No, it's not
Is a metal cup a better insulator or a plastic cup a better insulator?
Putting the cup in the freezer keeps ice from melting. Those cups will slow down the melting rate, but if you've got ice at room temperature it's gonna melt eventually. Having said that, ice will melt slowest in a styrofoam cup.
Why does the glass on a window pane feel cooler to the touch than the wood frame surrounding the glass?
Wood is a better thermal insulator than glass, which is easily cooled.
Why do styrofoam cups keep water hot for longer than and paper cups?
It's a better insulator
Is air or fiberglass a better insulator?
i hope air is better than fibre glass
Is glass or metal a better conductor?
Glass has a higher conductivity than thin plastic but,it is still lower than metal so metal may be a better conductor
Why does a double glass window have argon?
Because argon is a better insulator than air
Is Polystyrene a good thermal conductor?
No, it's not, though it's better than you might think if you equate polystyrene with Styrofoam. Styrofoam is made of polystyrene, but it's the trapped air that makes it such a good insulator.
How well does styrofoam conduct heat?
Yes, styrofoam is full of air cells and air is a good thermal insulator. Styrofoam has poor solvent resistance, and poor hot performance.
Is wood a better insulator than glass?
No. Wood has more air in it than glass, and air is pretty much accepted to be one of the best insulators ever.
