It's not, there are materials that are better, like diamond.
Yes, mercury is a good conductor of heat but it is not the best conductor. Metals like copper and silver are better conductors of heat than mercury.
Mercury is a poor conductor of heat.
Mercury is the best conductor of heat among the liquids you mentioned. Mercury has high thermal conductivity due to its structure and metallic properties, allowing it to efficiently transfer heat. Alcohol and oil have lower thermal conductivity compared to mercury.
No. Mercury is a poor conductor of heat.
yes
Yes, copper is a better conductor of heat compared to mercury. Copper has a higher thermal conductivity, which means it can transfer heat more efficiently than mercury. Mercury is a poor conductor of heat due to its lower thermal conductivity.
Liquid metals such as mercury and gallium are the best conductors of heat among liquids due to their high thermal conductivity. Mercury is often used in thermometers because of its excellent heat transfer properties.

All metals are heat conductors; mercury is not special.
Mercury is a good conductor of heat. Unfortunately, heat will produce vapor which is toxic.
All metals are heat conductors; mercury is not special (8,3 W/m.K).
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.
