when a material is heat up then the kinetic energy of the atoms of material is increased so, they became to vibrate with high kinetic energy the atoms of the material collide to each other so some of the kinetic energy of the higher kinetic energy atom is transferred to the atom having low kinetic energy to witch it collide.as atoms of material are closely packed therefore heat transfer from one atom to another and the material heat up.

What are some materials that conduct?
Some materials that conduct include gold, wood, steel, water, and even copper. Most metals conduct well and are used to carry heat or electricity. Aluminum is another metal that conducts well.
Why do some metals conduct heat better than others?
The ability for a metal to conduct heat depends on how the atoms are aligned. Different materials have different bond structures.
What are materials that conduct heat poorly?
The general term for "materials that conduct heat poorly" is "insulators". Examples would be wood, many ceramics, and cloth such as wool or cotton.
What are not insulators?
Insulators are materials that don't conduct heat well, or (for electricity), materials that don't let electricity pass through them. In general they are non-metallic materials.
What are things that don't conduct heat called?
Some of the best are gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, etc. Perlite is extremely non-conductive. Ordinary materials like paper, wood and rubber are also relatively poor conductors. Please see the link.
What materials conduct heat and which do no?
the materials like metal(which have free electrons) conduct heat and light both and those materials which are formed by covalent bond (do not have free electrons) generaly non metals do not conduct heat and electricity.
Why do materials that conduct heat also conduct electricity?
copper, metals...

Does wood conduct heat?
All materials conduct heat so: Yes The real question is how quickly.
What materials conduct heat and which do not?
Insulators do not conduct heat and are therefore non-metals. Metals do conduct heat, and vey well may i add. But, for the record, you're thinking of electricity. Potatoes conduct heat, and they're not metals. Anyone who has held a lump in their hand will tell you that playdough conducts heat, in fact, rather a lot of other materials conduct heat and water also conduct heat
Do materials that conduct heat also tend to conduct electricity?
Usually, yes.
What are materials that conduct heat poorly?
The general term for "materials that conduct heat poorly" is "insulators". Examples would be wood, many ceramics, and cloth such as wool or cotton.
What types of materials conduct heat?
Any material that has free electrons.
What materials conduct heat and electricity?
The best conductor for heat and electricity is any type of metal element.
Which metal does not conduct heat?
None. All metals conduct heat to some degree.
Do all materials conduct electricity?
yes all materials conduct electicity , but some are good conductor , some poor and some very poor
