Question

give the reason for your answer. 'Air is a bad conductor of heat.'

Answer 1

Explanation:

Air molecules are too far to disperse heat energy to one another efficiently. Heat is conducted by molecules and atoms that are very closely bonded together and vibrating at high frequency.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Air is a bad conductor of heat since the molecules of air, which is a gas, is freely packed therefore the molecules are far away from each other and heat can only be conducted through the molecules. Thus heat conduction through air is very poor.
