What is a substance that does not conduct thermal energy very well?

One example of a substance that does not conduct thermal energy very well is Styrofoam. This material is a poor conductor of heat due to its low density and air pockets within its structure, which inhibit the transfer of thermal energy through the material.


What l can not conduct heat very well?

Non-metals, such as rubber and plastic, generally do not conduct heat very well due to their molecular structure that does not easily allow the transfer of heat energy. These materials are considered to be insulators when it comes to heat conduction, meaning they are poor conductors of heat.


What is used to describe how well various substances conduct thermal energy?

thermal conductivity The term for how substances conduct thermal energy is thermal conductivity.


Why do insulators not conduct electricity well?

In insulators the bond energy between atoms in the material they form is very high. We need to give large energy to overcome that bond energy and set free the electrons. As electrons are not freely available It doesnt conduct well. There's a kind of circularity in the question. Anything that doesn't conduct electricity for any reason is called an insulator. So any substance where the electrons are too tightly bound to atoms and cannot migrate is called an insulator. Anything that manages to let electrons migrate wouldn't be called an insulator.


Materials which lets electricity go through them are called?

Conductor are materials that conduct electricity. There are also semiconductors, which conduct electricity but not as well, and superconductors, which conduct electricity without resistance when very cold.

Do simple molecular substances conduct electricity?

Most molecular substances do not conduct electricity since the ions don't dissociate very well with molecular substances. However, most ionic substances do conduct electricity very well due to their ability to dissociate very well in water.
