What is the name of an object that reduces the passage of heat electricity and sound?

An object that reduces the passage of heat, electricity, and sound is called an insulator. Insulators are materials that have low thermal conductivity, high electrical resistance, and good soundproofing properties. Examples include fiberglass, rubber, and wood.


What object conducts heat or electricity?

The blunt answer is that ALL materials can potentially conduct heat and electricity (metals, air, water, human bodies, cloth, wood, even rubber, etc), but require the right conditions. A GOOD conductor is one that can transmit heat or electricity or both VERY EASILY under standard temperature/pressure conditions. There are many, many GOOD conductors out there and too numerous to name on this answer board.
