Actually diamond is the best conductor of heat, and a diamond film substrate is used as a heat conductor in some microprocessors.
Silver and copper are the metals more commonly used as heat conductors because of cost.

What materials conduct heat and electricity?
The best conductor for heat and electricity is any type of metal element.
What is an isulator?
Cotton is an isulator because it does not transfer electric charge easily:) :)
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
Does wood conduct heat?
All materials conduct heat so: Yes The real question is how quickly.
What is the ability to conduct heat electricity or sound?
The ability to conduct heat or electricity is acutally called conductivity.
Do all substance conduct heat?
no
The property of a substance that enables it to conduct electricity may also allow the same substance to conduct heat. An insulator does not conduct heat well. What elements are good insulators?
it is called conductivity if it is carrying electric it is electrical conductivity. If it is carrying Heat it is thermal conductivity.
Do all objects equally conduct or absorb heat?
No. The ability to conduct heat (known as thermal conductivty) is a unique property of a substance. Metals, for instance, typically conduct heat better than nonmetals. But diamond is the best thermal conductor of all. The ability to absorb heat (known as specific heat) is likewise unique for different substances.
What does insulator means?
An insulator is ant substance that does not conduct or emit heat or electricity
Does water conduct heat well?
it does , conduct heat well , just like it conducts electricity , heat can be produced to electricity , too
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
Why is electricity the best material that conducts heat?
Electricity does not conduct heat. Your question is meaningless.
What substances best conduct heat?
metals and air mainly
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
Substance which conduct electricity but not heat?
Most of the metals are good conductors of both electricity and heat. However, silver conducts heat very poorly. Substances made out of silver like silver spoon will not conduct much heat.
What kind of metal conducts heat fastest?
Silver is the best (and so fastest) metal to conduct heat.
