Substances that allows the flow of heat energy through it are known as good conductors of heat energy. Most metals are good conductors of heat energy. Most nonmetals are not a good conductors of heat energy.

Interestingly, the best metal at conducting heat is silver, which is slightly better than copper, but it is nowhere nearly as good as diamond, which can conduct heat as much as five times as well, and is not a metal. Go figure.

Why is silver a good thermal conductor?

Silver is a good thermal conductor because it has a high density of free electrons that can easily transfer heat energy through the material. These free electrons can quickly move and transfer thermal energy, making silver an efficient conductor of heat.
