Question

Conductor's vs Insulators of heat
Give your answers fast plz.

Answer 1

Answer:

Materials that are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors. ... Materials that are poor conductors of thermal energy are called thermal insulators. Gases such as air and materials such as plastic and wood are thermal insulators.

Answer 2

Heat Conductors (Conductors of Heat)

• Heat conductors or conductors of heat let heat flow through them easily.

• Heat conductors or conductors of heat let heat flow through them easily. Have you ever tried to stir boiling soup using a metal spoon? If you have tried so, you know how quickly heat energy flows from the hot soup, through the spoon, to your hand. Do you remember; how your fingers began to get hot??? This is because heat travels faster through metal. Substances like metal are called conductors.

Heat Conduction

• The movement of heat through a solid heat conductor is called heat conduction.

GOOD CONDUCTORS

Aluminium

Brass

Bronze

Copper

Gold

Graphite

Iron

Mercury

Steel

Silver

1. Metal is a good heat conductor because it lets heat flow through it easily.
2. Copper and silver are the best heat conductors.
3. Copper conducts heat ten times better than iron.
4. When heat travels by conduction through a heat conductor, the heat is passed on from one atom to the next. The heat flows, the heated atoms don’t!

Heat Insulators (Insulators of Heat)

Heat insulators or insulators of heat don’t let heat flow through them. Let’s get back to our example.

If you have used a wooden spoon or a spoon with a plastic handle, you know how easier it is to stir the hot soup, by experience. This is because neither wood nor plastic conducts heat. Substances like these are called insulators.

• Wood, plastic and air are some of the examples of heat insulators.
• Gases are poorest heat conductors. In other words, they are the best heat insulators. Air is a mixture of gases. This is why air is a good insulator.

INSULATORS

Wood

Plastic

Glass

Rubber

Fabric

Cork

Ceramic

Styrofoam

Porcelain

Air

1. Wood, plastic and air are some of the examples of heat insulators.
2. Gases are poorest heat conductors. In other words, they are the best heat insulators. Air is a mixture of gases. This is why air is a good insulator.

hope It helps:)
