Substances that allows the flow of heat energy through it are known as good conductors of heat energy. Most metals are good conductors of heat energy. Most nonmetals are not a good conductors of heat energy.
Interestingly, the best metal at conducting heat is silver, which is slightly better than copper, but it is nowhere nearly as good as diamond, which can conduct heat as much as five times as well, and is not a metal. Go figure.

Is aluminium a good heat conductor?
Yes, aluminium is a good conductor of both electricity and thermal energy. It can also be a superconductor (in proper conditions).
A material that is a good thermal conductor would?
A material that is a good thermal conductor would hold in a lot of heat. These thermal conductors would also transfer heat easily.
Is a shiny element element a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Yes, this is mostly true. It starts to become untrue near silicon.
Is nickel a good thermal conductor?
Its OK: most metals are good conductors -------------------------------------------- More: since a nickel is made out of copper and nickel then it is sure to be a good conductor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More Information: Pure nickel is not a very good thermal conductor compared to other metals like copper. Nickel is often mixed with other metals, such as copper, and those alloys often have better thermal conductivity than pure nickel.
Does platinum transfer heat?
The thermal conductivity of platinum is 71,6 W/m.K.
Is glass a good conductor thermal energy?
No.
What material is good conductor of thermal energy?
a metal
Is aluminum an insulator or conductor of thermal energy?
Aluminum is a conductor of thermal energy and electrical energy.
Is a nonmetal a good conductor of thermal energy?
Yes its a conducter
A material that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal?
Something that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal...conductor. If it does not conduct well it is called an insulator.
What is shiny element good conductor of thermal energy and electric currents?
a metal
What metal is a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
aluminum, copper,
Is aluminium a good heat conductor?
Yes, aluminium is a good conductor of both electricity and thermal energy. It can also be a superconductor (in proper conditions).
What shiny metal is a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Tranition metals
What terms defines something that transfers thermal energy efficiently?
Something that transfers thermal energy efficiently is called a conductor.
Distinguish between a heat conductor and an insulator.?
A heat conductor readily conducts thermal energy; an insulator inhibits flow of thermal energy.
Is wood a good conductor of thermal energy?
No, it is used on cooking pot handles to get rid of heat.
