No. Plastic is a bad conductor of heat as it does not have free electrons and metal are good conductor of heat as they have one or two free electrons in outer orbit.

Would a plastic cup keep the water hot longer than a metal cup?

A plastic cup holds more heat because plastic can't take out heat. Glass conducts heat away.


Is mercury a better conductor of heat than glass?

No, it is not. The best thermal conductor among the metals is silver, and it is the best electrical conductor as well. There is a general "rule" in the natural world that thermal and electrical conductivity are proportionate among metals; they "track" together. If a metal is a better thermal conductor than another metal, it will be a better electrical conductor as well. It should be noted that the best thermal conductor of all known materials is the allotrope of carbon we call diamond. Interestingly, diamond is an electrical insulator.


Which cup can hold heat better a plastic cup a coffee cup or a glass cup?

A glass cup will conduct heat away quickly - a plastic cup would hold heat the best.
