the softer metals such as sodium, copper, lead, silver, Mercury and tin are the better conductors of both heat and electricity. However, many of these, such as sodium, mercury and tin, are not used for applications requiring conducting properties due to other unfavorable characteristics such as toxicity or strong reactivity with surroundings.

Yes, sodium is a fairly good thermal conductor. Among elements it is rated number 12 from the top.

Thermal conductors are rated by W/cmK. Without going into the explanation, a higher number represents a better conductor, and 0.0 means no conductivity at all. Sodium is rated at 1.41 W/cmK. By comparison, copper, which is second best as a thermal conductor among elements, is rated at 4.01 W/cmK.
