Does water conduct heat well?
it does , conduct heat well , just like it conducts electricity , heat can be produced to electricity , too
Is glass a good conducter of heat?
yes. these are the best conductors of heat: copper aluminum, glass, brass and steel conduct heat the best
What type of solid best conducts heat and electricity?
1ST Block solids
Are all metals conductors of heat?
We normally associate metals with solids (at room temperature) -- mercury being one exception. All materials, solids or fluids, can conduct heat. However, not all solids are good conductors, but most metals are. I don't know about sodium, a metal, though, because it disintegrates in room air -- not practical to do a controlled experiment to prove about it being a good heat conductor or not. However, since those solids that are classified as a metal for the reason that each metal has free roaming electrons, which can be transport heat, and since solids also have phonons (lattice vibrations), sodium can conduct heat too (at least for the first mini-seconds of being exposed to air) -- just don't know whether sodium is a good heat conductor if it stands alone. BTW, mercury is a good heat conductor too. ===========================
What types of matter do not conduct heat at all?
Every matter conducts heat but non-metals conduct less heat than metals generally . For exception diamond which is a non metal is one of the best conductors of heat.
Do all solids conduct heat at the same rate?
yes
Do Solids usually conduct heat better then liquids and gases?
Solids do conduct heat better than gases, although not necessarily better than liquids. Some solids are actually composite materials, because they can have a porous structure which contains gas within the solid, and this results in solids that do not conduct heat very well. But it is the gas component which has this insulating property.
Why are gases heat insulator?
Because they conduct heat less efficiently than do liquids or solids.
In order for heat to be conducted from one object to another what does the object need to made out of?
All objects conduct heat to some degree, even though some conduct it better than others. Objects are made out of matter, and that is the only requirement. If you want to know what an object would need to be made out of in order to conduct heat efficiently, that would be another question. Generally speaking, solids and liquids conduct heat better than gases so. Solids that contain trapped gas within them do not conduct heat as well as solids that don't.

Is a type of heat transfer that occurs best with solids.?
conduction
What is a type of heat transfer that occurs best with solids?
conduction
Do liquids conduct heat well?
no, metal is the best heat && energy conductor.
What can conduct heat and electricity but are not the best conductors?
nonmetals
What is a example of heat kinetic energy?
Which group on the periodic table contains chemical elements that are brittle as solids and cannot conduct electricity
Solids that are good at moving heat from one end to the other are called?
Materials that can conduct heat are called good conductors of heat and electricity. Most of the time, these materials are metals. Nonmetals are not good conductors of heat.
Why is electricity the best material that conducts heat?
Electricity does not conduct heat. Your question is meaningless.
