Question

why air is a bad conductor of heat

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Answer:

$\huge\tt\underline\pink{ANSWER}$

Air is a bad conductor because, to conduct heat current molecules should absorb heat and transmit it to neighbor by vibrating. In case of air molecules near the hot surface absorbs the heat and start vibrating, but neighbor molecule is so far that this vibration should be very high and so the heat energy required is high for small conduction to start.

✴️experiment to prove that air is bad conductor of heat...

➡️Take a hard glass test-tube and place in it small amount of wax. ... Heat the test-tube near the mouth. In few miniutes, the cork blows out, but wax does not melt. Thus, experiment proves that air is a bad conductor of heat.
