Question
Why do insulators resist the flow of heat and electricity? (1 point)
They are made of materials that resist charges
They create opposing electric forces to reduce the motion of charges
They do not allow their valence electrons to move easily
They cannot transfer heat due to their low heat capacity

Insulators resist the flow of heat and electricity because **they do not allow their valence electrons to move easily**. This property makes it difficult for electrical charges to flow through them, and also restricts the transfer of thermal energy.
