A thermoses can come from a wide range of styles and materials:
Plastic: which can keep a temp for about 3-4 hours before you start to noticing any change in temperature. This type of thermos is isolated like all thermoses has an outer wall and inner wall with space* and some times outside of the inner wall is sprayed with some photo reflective coating** but that ends there.
Metal: The reason to use metal is because it is durable and has the ability to retain temperature when nothing is there to pull the heat or cold away. There are two types of thermoses like this one has an empty space of air for insulation two is the complete opposite it is usually called a vacuum flask has no air, gas or any substance at all. the reason this works is because everything transfers temperature, even air. So what best way to keep your Hot cocoa lava hot? these can keep things worm or cold about 24 hours 48 if you over heat or over cool your liquids. also "prep" it.
They have an inner and outer wall. In between the walls, some thermoses use a vacuum, since the only form of heat that can travel through a vacuum is radiation. Others use dead air space or insulation, like styrofoam, which has many tiny pockets of dead air space.

Does a thermos keep things hot?
Yes, it can also keep things cold.
What does a thermos do?
A thermos will generally keep either a hot item hot or a cold item cold. you can use them for things like cold drinks, soup, hot chocolate, or pretty much any liquid you want to keep the same temperature.
What did a thermos used to be?

In terms of molecules moving how a does a thermos bottle keep hot liquids hot and colds liquids cold?
If you look inside of a thermos you will see metal. This absorbs the heat or the cold and keeps it that way for as long as the contents are in the thermos.
Does a thermos use thermal energy to keep things warm?
No, a thermos uses insulation to minimize heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation. This helps to keep hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold by reducing the rate of heat exchange between the contents and the surrounding environment.
Does a thermos freeze liquid?
A thermos is designed to keep liquids hot or cold for an extended period of time by minimizing heat transfer. While a thermos can help prevent liquid from freezing by maintaining its temperature, it is not intended for keeping liquids warm in freezing conditions or preventing freezing altogether.
What is the best way to keep a thermos hot or cool?
To keep a thermos hot, pre-heat the thermos with boiling water before adding the hot liquid. For cold beverages, pre-chill the thermos with cold water or ice cubes. Keep the lid tightly closed to maintain the temperature inside.
What is the job of a thermos?
A thermos is designed to keep beverages hot or cold for an extended period of time by providing insulation that minimizes heat transfer. It works by creating a vacuum-insulated chamber that prevents heat from escaping or entering the container, maintaining the desired temperature of the liquid inside.
How do you keep things warm and cold?
Well, you could put something hot in a thermos, and something cold in a cooler bag, wich is basically lined with thermal material. Things kept in thermal things won't stay the same temperature forever.
Why does thermos keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold?
A thermos keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold by using a vacuum layer between two walls of the container. This vacuum layer prevents heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation. The result is that hot drinks stay hot because heat loss is minimized, and cold drinks stay cold because heat gain is minimized.
Is a thermos a conductor?
you tell me if you fill a thermos with hot soup or Hot Chocolate put the lid on and then touch it is it hot or cold. odds are it is warm so it is hard to say. but the thermos is an insulator
