Question

Name the metal which is the poorest conductor of heat

Answer 1

lead and mercury are poorest conductors of heat

Answer 2

Answer:

Lead is the poorest conductor of heat.

Explanation:

Lead is a chemical element with symbol Pb(from the Latin plumbum) and atomic number 82. It is a heavy metal. Lead is soft and malleable, and has a relatively low melting point.

Its electronegativity is -2,

it is poor conductor of heat because it readily reacts with the atmosphere to form lead oxide, where we know metal oxides are poor conductor of heat and electricity as well.
