The best heat conductor is helium II. The poorest heat conductors are perlite and silica aerogel.
water
Like all metals, a conductor, but not as good a conductor as, for example, silver or copper.
No. Lead is a realtively good conductor. The insulator is the wood on the outside of the lead.
Why is glass a good conductor of heat and ceramic is not a good conductor of heat?

plumbum is poorest

Most metals are good conductors of heat, but lead and stainless steel are exceptions. Air is a poor conductor of heat as are fibrous or layered materials. Cloth made from cotton or asbestos or sisal would be poor conductors. Mica would be an example of a layered material that is poor. In most thermal insulators, all you are buying is still air, because still air is (almost) the poorest conductor of heat among the simple materials. Hence the construction of most thermal insulators.
Lead has high resistivity of current. So , lead is not conduct current. But lead has low resistivity of heat and it conduct heat..
not gold
Like all metals, a conductor, but not as good a conductor as, for example, silver or copper.
Copper, aluminum, gold, iron, silver, lead, tin, platinum, nickel, tungsten A and example of a good conductor of heat is a metal.
The reason for this is that lead readily reacts with the atmospheric oxygen to forms lead oxide. Lead oxide that has been formed does not have any free electrons. Therefore, it is not able to pass electricity. As, lead exists in the form of lead oxide in which, free electrons are not available.
