Thermal conductors let heat move through them. Metals are part of this group.
There are many uses for thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity can be used to heat things like water and gasses are typically poor conductors.
Yes, it is a material with a high thermal conductivity.
Both thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity tend to be higher in metals than in most other materials.
Diamond is one example. In fact it has on of the highest thermal conductivity coefficients measured to date while generally being an electrical insulator.
have high conductivity; have low specific heat
A thermal conductor allows heat to readily flow through itself. An example of a material with a low thermal conductivity would be air, and an example of a material with a high thermal conductivity would be steel.
Substances with high thermal conductivity are generally good conductors of heat. Some examples include metals such as copper, aluminum, and silver. Additionally, materials like diamond and graphite also exhibit high thermal conductivity.
Usually it is, but exceptional case is of Graphite which has low thermal conductivity.

If you mean "thermal conductivity", no; metals are generally fairly good heat conductors.
from wiedemann franz law we know that thermal conductivity/electrical conductivity=constant that is sigma inv. proportional to k thus a material having large electrical conductivity has low thermal conductivity and moreover we know R=pL/A p=RA/L 1/P=L/RA i.e lower area means greater conductivity(electrical) and lower thermal conductivity
Copper has a high thermal conductivity, not low. This is a good generalization of any metal, although they vary in conductivity.
Any material which has high thermal conductivity can easily transfer energy as heat. As far as I know, all metals have high thermal conductivity. Copper, gold and silver especially have high thermal conductivity. Diamond and graphene have VERY high thermal conductivity, so this is not restricted to only metals.
ALL metals are pretty good conductors of heat. Some, like gold, are very good conductors of heat.
