No, a good conductor has a low resistance.
Silver is the best natural conductor. It has the lowest resistance of any known natural material. Your conductors - low resistance materials Silver, Copper, Gold, Aluminum, Tungsten, Brass, Iron, Platinum... Gold is sometimes favored in circuits as silver and copper both oxides.
Dry wood has a high resistance; wet or humid wood is a fairly good conductor.
Yes, tungsten is used in spaceships. The hardness and density of tungsten as well as its high melting point make it a good material for rocket nozzles.

No, a good conductor has a low resistance.
Gold has a low resistance, which means it is a good conductor of electricity. This property makes it useful in various electrical applications where low resistance is needed for efficient conduction of electricity.
As a high performance material, pure tungsten has high melting temperature, high density, low vapor pressure, low thermal expansion combined with good thermal conductivity, sufficient electrical resistance and high modulus of elasticity.
The hardness and heat resistance of tungsten can contribute to useful alloys. Tungsten's high melting point makes tungsten a good material for applications like submarine ballistics. Tungsten alloys are used in a wide range of applications, including the aerospace and automotive industries and radiation shielding.Superalloys containing tungsten, such as Hastelloy are used in turbine blades and resistants. Tungsten's heat resistance makes it useful in composite applications as can be a highly-conductive metal to withstand the high temperatures.
Wolfram (tungsten) is resistant to attack of other chemicals as many acids, alkalis and oxygen.
Because tungsten is having high resistance and therefore heat loss will be more
It has high resistance.
Tungsten has a resistivity of 56 x (10 raised to the power of -9) ohm metres. So if we were to compare a tungsten wire with a silver wire of identical dimensions, then we could conclude that the resistance of tungsten is (56/15.9 =) 3.52 times that of silver. This means that the resistance of tungsten isn't particularly high, as it's much lower than some other metals with identical dimensions:
resistance will be high
Heating is caused by current flow. Certain types of wire like tungsten emit more heat than other types. Lower resistance means higher current for a fixed voltage per Ohm's Law. So the efficiency of heating with electricity depends on the material of the conductor, the operating voltage and the resulting current. In most instances this will be a low resistance with high conductivity.
