Gold, diamond, rubber, and glass are poor heat conductors.
metals are good conductors of heat, i.e. iron, steel,... non-metals are bad, i.e. carbon...
Good conductors of heat, such as metals like copper and aluminum, have high thermal conductivity due to their free electrons that can easily transfer heat energy. Bad conductors, or insulators, like wood or rubber, have low thermal conductivity as they lack free electrons and impede the flow of heat energy. The molecular structure of good conductors allows for efficient heat transfer through collisions between free electrons and atoms, while bad conductors have a structure that inhibits the flow of heat energy.
Good Electrical conductors: All metals, ionic substances (in solution or molten form) Bad Electrical conductors: Water Good Heat conductors: All Metals Bad Heat Conductors: Water
Substances that don't have the capacity to carry heat are called bad conductors of heat (or insulators ). Substances that have the capacity to carry heat are called good conductors of heat. As for electricity, it is very, much the same.
wood, plastic, water, vacuum and air.
Yes, but some metals are better conductors than others.

Any insulator - just think what kinds of material are used to protect people from heat: Oven gloves i.e. cotton Pan handles i.e. rubber and plastic Nuclear reactors are surrounded by 10m of water to insulate the thermal heat Asbestos used to be used for insulation The list is endless!
