Styrofoam is made of polystyrene, which is a long polymer chain. It is a hydrocarbon chain with every other carbon connected to a Phenyl group (an aromatic ring similar to benzene).

Will newton's cradle work with Styrofoam balls?
No, because the Styrofoam is to light and won't produce enough kinetic energy. Plus Styrofoam is not a good material for Newton's cradle.
What is the scientific name of styrofoam?
Styrofoam doesn't have a scientific name, since it is an object, but the closest would be it's official name, polystyrene thermal insulation material.
What type of colloid is Styrofoam?
yes
What about styrofoam?

What is the phase of a dispersed material in styrofoam?
liquid !!
Is styrofoam a good insulation?
Styrofoam is a very porous material; air from the closed pores has a bad thermal conductivity.
Why is Styrofoam a good insulator?
Styrofoam is a very porous material; air from the closed pores has a bad thermal conductivity.

What bulding material can keep out the most floodwater?
Styrofoam! it floats.
Which type of matter is the best insulator?
Styrofoam is the best material to use as an insulator. Styrofoam is the best insulator, since the temperature of the water in the styrofoam glass decreased the least. If you mean what "state" of matter is the best insulator then you're probably looking for gas as the answer. The state of matter that is best as a thermal insulator is gas.
Is metal stronger than styrofoam?
Yes, metal is very much stronger than Styrofoam. Note, Styrofoam is a brand trade mark, forextruded polystyrene foam, much used as an insulator and packaging material.
What is the scientific name of styrofoam?
Styrofoam doesn't have a scientific name, since it is an object, but the closest would be it's official name, polystyrene thermal insulation material.
