Question

Water is a bad conductor of heat.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Explanation:

1. Conduction is a process of transfer of heat in which the thermal vibrations of the particles of a medium is constantly transferred to the successive particle and thus the thermal energy is transferred from one side to the other side.
2. In conduction, electrons play a very important role.
3. For good conduction, electrons must be free.
4. In water, the electrons are engaged in chemical bonds and hence are not free to participate in conduction.

Hence, the given statement is true.
