Wood is a bad conductor of heat because wood is a covalently bound compound, meaning they don't have loose electrons that move around freely. When talking about electricity, wood is a good insulator because of its resistance of electrical flow.

Is wood an efficient conductor of heat and energy?

No, wood is not an efficient conductor of heat and energy compared to metals like copper or aluminum. Wood has a lower thermal conductivity, meaning it is a poorer conductor of heat and energy.


Is a wood log a insulator or an conductor?

Wood in itself is an insulator. But when wet, the water particles can conduct electricity.. Hence wet wood will be a conductor, although not a very good conductor, since the current passes only through a very small area


Is damp wood a electrical conductor?

Yes, damp wood can act as a conductor of electricity, but it is not a good conductor compared to metals. The moisture in the wood allows for some electrical conductivity due to the presence of ions in the water. However, the effectiveness of wood as a conductor depends on the level of moisture content; drier wood has much higher resistance and is considered an insulator.
