What are some ways to prevent heat energy loss in matter?

Use less heat in your house.

Explanation:

You have blankets in your house, huddle up for a good movie together.

Simple ways to reduce heat loss include

Heat loss through windows can be reduced by using double glazing

Heat loss through walls can be reduced using cavity wall insulation

Heat loss through the roof can be reduced by laying loft insulation

Explanation:

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
