Answer:

Glass → 0.935 W/(m·K)

Aluminum → 205 W/(m·K)

Insulating Material → 0.035 W/(m·K)

Step-by-step explanation:

Thermal conduction is the motion of molecules of a body, randomly, across a segment or region that has a temperature gradient that results in the transportation of energy

The thermal conductivity of a material is a measure of the ability of the material to transfer or conduct heat energy

Due to the availability of moving charged particles in metals, metals conduct heat more than non-metals as we can use metal pots for cooking but we cannot readily cook using non metallic material using thermal materials directly on a stove

Therefore, aluminum has a higher thermal conduction than glass and glass will have a higher thermal conduction than an insulating material

We therefore have;

Aluminum → 205 W/(m·K)

Glass → 0.935 W/(m·K)

Insulating Material → 0.035 W/(m.K).
