What property makes a material a good insulator?
No shared electrons between neighboring atoms/molecules in the material makes for a good electric insulator.A good thermal insulator has lots of air or gas (which insulates) trapped in the material.
What makes a material a good insulators of heat?
Hot molecules moving makes a good heat insulator
A material that conducts thermal energy poorly?
A material that doesn't conduct heat well is called an insulator.
Is quartz a conducting material or insulator?
Insulator.
What does Good electrical insulator mean?
An insulator is a material that does not conduct well, so an electrical insulator is a material that does not conduct electricity well. A metal is a bad electrical insulator as it has delocalised electrons, therefore conducts electricity, but most plastics and materials like rubber do not conduct electricity, so they are good electrical insulators. Hope that makes sense and helps? :3AnswerAn insulator is a material with insufficient free charge carriers to support conduction.
What is an elctrical insulator?
any material that does not conduct electricity is an insulator.
What makes an insulator insulate?
A material that insulates, especially a nonconductor of sound, heat, or electricity. A device that insulates another material or space from something. For instance glass is a good insulator from electricity. The electrons will not flow through glass. Cork is a good insulator from sound. Sound waves have a hard time passing through cork. Wood is a good insulator from heat.
Is shoe lace conductor or a insulator?
Most probably an insulator. But shoe lace isn't a material, it's an item. And it's the material that decides if an item is an insulator or not.
Is material a insulator?
Yes but it depends on the type of material.
What makes something a good insulator?
Trapped air makes a good insulator.
Which material get easily charged by rubbing and what such material is called?
An insulator Becomes statically charged when rubbed against another insulator
What material keeps electrons from moving?
This is called an insulator material.
