The metals which are less reactive and not very shiny are generally less conductive than others.These metals generally have low melting and boiling points.
The above result has been proven but still it is not true for all the metals,i.e,there are certain exceptions.Eg)Mercury is good conductor of heat but not that good conductor of electricity.But there is no need to remember the conductivity of different metals,you just need to know some of the best conductors and some of the worst ,that's all.

Is metal a thermal conductivity?
Yes, metal will conduct heat energy
What is the best thermal conductive metal?
This metal is silver with a thermal conductivity of 429 W/m.K at 27 0C.
What criterion is used for any metal to be used as coking material?
More Thermal Conductivity
What is a 'poor metal'?
a black metal
Why does the conductivity of a metal increase when a metal is cooled?
conduction is basically the flow of electrons from one end to the other in a conductor. lets take the example of a metal rod. the metal rod can conduct electricity as the electrons are able to flow and the resistance offered by the cations is relatively low. however, when the metal rod is heated, the cations start vibrating as energy is supplied to them. vibrating cations cause greater hindrance to the movement of electrons and thus, the conductivity decreases.
Does copper possess high or low thermal conductivity?
Copper has a high thermal conductivity, not low. This is a good generalization of any metal, although they vary in conductivity.
What qualifications do you need to be a thermal insulator?
Low thermal conductivity!
Do elements that have high electric conductivity also have high thermal conductivity?
Usually it is, but exceptional case is of Graphite which has low thermal conductivity.
Is metal a thermal conductivity?
Yes, metal will conduct heat energy
Is metal low conductivity?
No, metals have high conductivity but has low resistivity.
What metal has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all?
Silver
Which metal can oppose the temperature?
I do not really understand your question. What do you mean by "oppose the temperature"?If you mean insulate or have a low coefficient of thermal conductivity then there are several alloys which conduct heat less than most other metals. Some stainless steels for example have relatively low thermal conductivity.
What is the best thermal conductive metal?
This metal is silver with a thermal conductivity of 429 W/m.K at 27 0C.
How do you use thermal conductivity in a sentence?
Thermal conductivity involves the movement of energy while the as a whole is still. Gases are said to have low thermal conductivity, as they transfer heat poorly. Metals have much better thermal conductivity, as they will heat up and cool down relatively quickly.
What Thermal conductors?
have high conductivity; have low specific heat
Why doesn't glass heat up?
Of course it heats up. If you touch it, it may not feel as hot as metal, for example, due to its low thermal conductivity.
Which metal heat best?
The metal with the highest thermal conductivity is silver, followed by copper, then gold.
