Answer:
The lowest temperature at which a substance melts
Explanation:
C) is higher for nonpolar substances than for polar ones
<em>From the above options, the best </em><em>Thermal insulator </em><em>will be a </em><em>Plastic cup.</em>
Option (b);
<u>Explanation</u>
Thermal insulators resist to conduct energy or reduction of heat transfer when objects come across in contact with radiation or higher heat object. To conduct energy we need metal or those materials which contain free electrons in it to move from one metal to another.
Plastic doesn't have metallic character so it will resist the heat up to some threshold. Mostly this material is used in separating two current-conducting material. There are many other examples of thermal insulator such as Rubber, fabrics, paper, wood, wool.
The atomic number of copper is 29.
Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to rate my answer as well as maybe give it a "Thanks"? (Or even better a "Brainliest"). And if it’s not correct, I am sorry for wasting your time, and good luck finding the correct answer :)
