Plastic is a poor conductor of heat compared to metal, so it takes longer for heat to transfer through a plastic spoon. This means that a plastic spoon will not become as hot as quickly as a metal spoon when exposed to heat.
The spoon sticking out of a cup of hot water also gets hot because heat is transferred from the water to the metal spoon through conduction. The metal material of the spoon allows heat to flow easily, causing the temperature of the spoon to increase as it comes into contact with the hot water.
The heat transfer that occurs when a spoon in a cup of soup gets hot to the touch is conduction. Heat is transferred from the hot soup to the cooler spoon through direct contact between the two objects.
An example of energy transfer by conduction is when a metal spoon is placed in a hot cup of coffee. The heat from the coffee is transferred to the spoon through direct contact, causing the spoon to also become hot.
Metal is a good conductor of heat, so when it's placed in hot soup, the heat from the soup quickly transfers to the metal spoon handle, making it feel hot. Plastic, on the other hand, is a poor conductor of heat, so heat doesn't transfer as quickly to the plastic spoon handle, keeping it cooler to the touch.
plastic doesnt hold heat. unlike the spoon

goes from hot to cold

I believe as the tea is in contact with the spoon, the molecules in the spoon start moving around as they are heating up, causing the spoon to become hot.

Metal is a good conductor of heat. Plastic is a poor conductor of heat. On a hot day the plastic spoon may stop you scalding your mouth if it is left out in the sun.
Because plastic isn't as good a conductor of heat as metal.
Yes.
an example of conduction is a metal spoon in a cup of hot water...
Yes it will .
The plastic used to make a plastic spoon is usually a thermoplastic called polypropylene. A plastic spoon would be made in the process called injection molding, where thermoplastic resin is injected into a metal die, containing a cavity in the shape of a spoon. Thermoplastics are a type of plastic where they can be formed using heat to soften and melt them. Polypropylene would be specifically chosen for a spoon because it has the properties of higher heat tolerance, meaning the spoon could be used to stir a hot cup of coffee without problems. Usually food grade PP is used for spoon. Besides PP, PS is also used. IF any interest in buying plastic spoon moulds, pls contact sinomould-13@hotmai.com
