Joshua wants to create something to put between a hot pot and a table, so he doesn't burn the table. He knows he needs to choose a material that does not conduct heat well. Which material would be the best for
him to choose?
A. Wood
B. Aluminum
C. Copper
D. Glass

Copper is a good conductor of heat. This means that if you heat one end of a piece of copper, the other end will quickly reach the same temperature. Most metals are pretty good conductors; however, apart from silver, copper is the best.

Aluminum is an excellent heat and electricity conductor and in relation to its weight is almost twice as good a conductor as copper.

Glass is a very poor heat conductor. It has one of the lowest possible heat conduction a solid (without air trapped in it) can possibly have, this is mostly due to its lack of ordered crystal structure. Since it's an insulator, the electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity is very small.

Metals and stone are considered good conductors since they can speedily transfer heat, whereas materials like wood, paper, air, and cloth are poor conductors of heat. ... These include copper (92), iron (11), water (0.12), and wood (0.03).

Wood and Glass do not conduct heat well, aluminum is the best for him to choose because

aluminum conducted heat the fastest at an average of 14 seconds. ... Aluminum has the ability to absorb heat faster than copper, and when removed from the heat source, will cool faster because it is less dense than copper

Acovalent bond is formed between the two hydrogen bonds
