Any insulator - just think what kinds of material are used to protect people from heat: Oven gloves i.e. cotton Pan handles i.e. rubber and plastic Nuclear reactors are surrounded by 10m of water to insulate the thermal heat Asbestos used to be used for insulation The list is endless!
What else can I help you with?
Which materials are good or bad conductors of heat?
metals are good conductors of heat, i.e. iron, steel,... non-metals are bad, i.e. carbon...
What are the differences between good and bad conductors of heat?
Good conductors of heat transfer heat easily and efficiently, such as metals like copper and aluminum. Bad conductors, known as insulators, resist the flow of heat and are poor at conducting it, such as materials like rubber, wood, and air. Conductors have high thermal conductivity, while insulators have low thermal conductivity.
Why is plastic foam fur and feathers bad conductors of heat?
Plastic foam, fur, and feathers are bad conductors of heat because they have a lot of air pockets trapped within them. Air is a poor conductor of heat, so materials that have a high amount of air trapped within them are also poor conductors of heat. This trapped air creates a barrier that prevents the easy flow of heat, helping to insulate the object or organism.
What are some good conductors and bad ones?
Good Electrical conductors: All metals, ionic substances (in solution or molten form) Bad Electrical conductors: Water Good Heat conductors: All Metals Bad Heat Conductors: Water
Why are liquids bad conductors of heat?
Liquids are bad conductors of heat because their molecules are not closely packed together like in solids, limiting the transfer of thermal energy between them. Additionally, the free movement of molecules in liquids also hinders the transfer of heat. This is why liquids take longer to heat up and cool down compared to solids.
What are some bad conductors of heat?
Gold, diamond, rubber, and glass are poor heat conductors.

What are goods and bads?
Substances that don't have the capacity to carry heat are called bad conductors of heat (or insulators ). Substances that have the capacity to carry heat are called good conductors of heat. As for electricity, it is very, much the same.
What are the 5 bad conductors of heat?
wood, plastic, water, vacuum and air.
How good and bad conductors of heat are useful to us?
Substances that don't have the capacity to carry heat are called bad conductors of heat (or insulators ). Substances that have the capacity to carry heat are called good conductors of heat. As for electricity, it is very, much the same.
