In terms of the elements, no, with the possible exception of carbon (C) in the form of graphite. The non metal elements are generally the opposite, insulating as opposed to conducting.
However, Water with a high salt concentration, and plasma (electrically charged gas) are good conductors.

Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
Some nonmetallic materials are good conductors, graphite being an example. In this form, it is considered a semi-metal for that reason. Normally, however, nonmetals are not good electrical conductors.
Is this true or false Nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
True
Does magnesium conduct heat and electricity?
Yes. Magnesium is a metal and all metals are great conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are not good conductors and metalloids are in between.
Is Fe a solid?
Yes, iron is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Most nonmetals are not good conductors of heat and electricity.
Does sulfur conducts heat?
Sulfur is a nonmetal and nonmetals are poor conductors of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. So no
Nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
no
What distinguishes nonmetals from metals?
metals are shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are dull and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Is it true that nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
Some nonmetallic materials are good conductors, graphite being an example. In this form, it is considered a semi-metal for that reason. Normally, however, nonmetals are not good electrical conductors.
Are metals and nonmetals both good conductors?
no because metals conduct heat and electricity well, but nonmetals do not
Is calcium a good conductor of electricity and heat?
Yes, calcium is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Most metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Most nonmetals are not good conductors of heat and electricity.
Is this true or false Nonmetals are good conductors of heat and electricity?
True
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
Does magnesium conduct heat and electricity?
Yes. Magnesium is a metal and all metals are great conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are not good conductors and metalloids are in between.
What are nonmetals that are intermediate conductors of heat and electricity?
Semiconductors
What can conduct heat and electricity but are not the best conductors?
nonmetals
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.
Is an animal a nonmetal?
Animals are considered to be nonmetals, because they can not be easily reshaped and are good conductors of heat or electricity.
