Best Answer

The movement of heat may be considered as the movement of electromagnetic energy at a frequency a little below that of light. There are substances that are opaque to infrared, and of course, a mirror will reflect e-m energy at the appropriate frequencies.

So the answer is not all substances conduct heat, though the vast majority do so.

What things conduct heat?

Technically, everything. Any amount of matter will conduct heat as a matter of molecular vibrations. However, heat conduction increases with density and delocalization of bonds (metals are the best conductors, followed by some forms of graphite, then probably some organic molecules, then other molecules, then salts, then lastly rocks and such).
