The major difference between good and bad conductors of heat is based on the difference in thermal conductivity of a material.

The key differences between good and bad conductors of heat are:

1) GOOD CONDUCTOR:

  • A good conductor of heat allows better conduction of heat.
  • It allows electrons to travel freely.
  • The heat is transferred when attoms absorb kinetic energy and collide with each other.
  • Some examples of good conductors are metals like silver, aluminum, brass, lead, stainless steel, etc.

2) BAD CONDUCTORS:

  • Bad conductors do not allow easy conduction of heat through them.
  • Electrons cannot move freely within bad conductors.
  • They are covalently bound atoms hence no collision takes place.
  • Some examples of poor conductors of heat are paper, wood, rubber, etc.
