Answer 1

Answer:

1 Cotton is a better insulator when it is compressed than when it is fluffy . True

Answer 2

Answer:

It is true cause

Explanation:

First of all, please understand the fact that air is a very poor heat conductor. Heat conduction occurs when molecules ‘crash’ into one another and heat energy is spread form molecule to molecule, and because air is a gas with not many molecules in one unit volume, air itself becomes a poor heat conductor.

Now, why is cotton a good heat insulator?

Cotton is made of loosely intertwined fibers, and between them a lot of air is trapped. This explains why cotton is a good heat insulator
