Question

Which of the following materials conducts heat well?
glass
plastic
metal
wood

Answer 1

Depends on their thermal conductivity value.

or just think of which one is suitable to cook a soup.

Answer 2

Metal

Answer 3

Metals typically have higher conductivity values for both heat and electricity. It does depend upon the thickness of the solid though.

Answer 4

Glass

Answer 5

metals can conduct heat more better then all other because they have atoms vibrating at there mean position and when heat is applied they vibrate with greater amplitude and transfer heat to the their neighboring atoms...as a result heat is transformed from one end to other..
