Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

because, to conduct heat current molecules should absorb heat and transmit it to neighbor by vibrating. ... So , "If air were a good conductor of heat" then soup will not stay hot for longer because this time convection+conduction will both help to transfer heat away from soup.

Hope this is helpful...

Answer 2

Answer:

air is a bad conductor of heat because its molecules are not in continuous contact with each other.

Explanation:

air molecules are too far away to disperse heat energy to one another efficiently. heat is conducted by molecules abd atoms that are very closely bonded together and vibrate with a high frequency.

hope this helps.
