it transfers from heat flow
If something is a good conductor of heat then it will lose heat slowly. If something is a poor conductor of heat it will lose heat quickly.
It will depend on the specific heat, and conductivity of the material in question. energy does not care what state a matter is in. in general, no, liquids allow the molecules to move about, and will transfer the heat more quickly than a solid, however, consider aluminum, though a solid, it transfers heat quickly, while some liquids might be slower. As I said, depends on conductivity an specific heat.
A good thermal conductor is a material that conducts the heat well. These are usually metals which is why pots and pans are made out of them but not the handle. They are the opposite of thermal insulators so this means that the heat can get across the material quickly whereas an insulator keeps the heat in so the heat cannot get through as quickly.
Heat transfers through: Conduction=Transfers heat from one object to another ex:the hot frying pan is touched by you and you can feel the heat Convection=transfers heat in air
it transfers from heat flow

Conductor
A good type of material that transfers heat or electricity well.

Convection oven is an example. A convector is a general name for something that transfers heat by convection.
One major benefit of a heat exchanger is that it quickly transfers heat from one medium to another such as an air conditioning unit or a space heater.
Aluminum , being metal, has free moving electrons which transfers heat and electricity very quickly.
A material that does not let heat in quickly. Example: wood, plastic, leather, ect.
The material that will boil water the fastest is metal. Metal is an excellent conductor of heat and will heat the water up quickly.
