, Page 2 of 76
(3) Wood
(4) Liquids
(5) Gasses
What is the correlation between electrical and heat
conductivity in metals? ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... The
better a metal conducts electricity, the better it will conduct
heat.
Why is Stone a poorer conductor of heat than Metal? ✓ ✓
...... ANSWER ....... Stone, brick, and other types of
masonry tend to ABSORB and STORE heat (instead of
conducting the heat rapidly like metal).
Why is Wood a very poor conductor of heat? ✓ ✓ ......
ANSWER ....... It ABSORBS rather than conducts heat, and
depending on the amount of heat being absorbed, it may
reach its' ignition temperature and ignite.
Why are Liquids & Gasses poor heat conductors? ✓ ✓ ......
ANSWER ....... The molecules are not as close together as
they are in a solid.
