Depending on the glass, it has a K value between 0.8 and 1.1
Wood has a K value of between 0.04 and 0.4
The higher the K value the better the thermal conductivity. Thus glass has a higher thermal conductivity than wood.
Glass is more often than not a thermal insulator. In very rare occurrences, when glass is mixed with metals to create a unique glass-like material, it will conduct heat.
yes
Both thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity tend to be higher in metals than in most other materials.
Diamond is the best thermal conductor around room temperature. Diamond has a thermal conductivity of more than 2,000 watts per meter per Kelvin, which is five times higher than the best metals such as copper.
Aluminum. It has a higher value for thermal conductivity than stainless steels.
Because metal has better thermal conductivity than wood. Thermal conductivity depends of the atomic and molecular structure of the stuff. The air is a poor thermal conductor, but water is better.
Metals have a higher electrical and thermal conductivity than nonmetals.

it has something to do with physics: every "material" has its own thermal conductivity. that means the energy transferred increases as the thermal conductivity of the material increases. thats why if you tough a piece of wood which has the exact same temperature of a piece of metal it still will feel less warm. because wood's thermal conductivity is lower than metals, it will "transfer" less energy (energy = temperature) per second to your finger, so you will feel it less. so figure thermal conductivity of humid air is higher than dry air.

Copper and gold are different metal elements with different properties. The thermal conductivity of gold is 318W/mK, whereas the thermal conductivity of copper is slightly higher at 401W/mK. The electrical conductivity of copper is slightly higher at 5.96 x107 S/m than gold which is 4.11×107 S/m.
aluminum has a lower melting point, higher thermal conductivity, and doesn't change color before it goes molten
The thermal conductivity detector (TCD) is a bulk property detector and a chemical specific detector commonly used in gas-liquid chromatography. [1]This detector senses The thermal conductivity detector (TCD) is a bulk property detector and a chemical specific detector commonly used in gas-liquid chromatography. [1]This detector senses changes in the thermal conductivity of the column effluent and compares it to a reference flow of carrier gas. Since most compounds have a thermal conductivity much less than that of the common carrier gases of helium or hydrogen, when an analyte elutes from the column, the effluent thermal conductivity is reduced and produces a detectable signal. changes in the thermal conductivity of the column effluent and compares it to a reference flow of carrier gas.

The edges of the thick glass will cool faster than the center portion since the glass has low thermal conductivity. This produces a thermal gradient in the glass putting the outside edges in a state of tension stress. Glass fails in tension at a low value if any flaw exists on the edge surface.
Wood is a better thermal insulator than glass, which is easily cooled.
