I am not sure if it IS the worst, however it is ONE of the worst conductors of heat.

Because it is a poor conductor of heat
Not usually. They tend to be made of plastic material. They will melt but do not conduct heat well
It is called conductivity
A conductor is an object (usually a solid) that allows heat or electricity to pass through it easily by the process of conduction, which is a method of heat/electricity transfer in which heat/electricity travels through a solid material without actually causing movement of the medium. Copper, aluminium, and pretty much all metals are good conductors. Water is a conductor of electricity but an insulator of heat. An insulator is the opposite of a conductor, and absorbs heat/electricity rather than channeling it. Plastic is an insulator of both heat and electricity. Wood, styrofoam and vacuum (dead air, like in space) are also heat insulators.
There are a quite a few answers that fit this question. Gold is very ductile and is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity.
Aluminium is a good conductor of heat.
No.
the worst conductors of heat are wood, plastic, rubber, and cloth.
It is a bad conductor of heat, that is why it is used as an insulating material.
Glass
Metals.
A material which is a good conductor of electricity or heat.
It is a material which can transfer heat through conduction.
Metals are known to be good conductors of heat as well as good conductors of electricity. Diamond is an exception though, being one of the best thermal conductors but a very poor electrical conductor.
The worst metal conductor of heat is very probable bismuth with a thermal conductivity of 7,97 W/m.K.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aluminum conducts heat brilliantly, which is why it is used for most heat sinks and cooling fins, along with copper, another brilliant conductor of heat.--------------------------------------------------------------
A material that is a good thermal conductor would hold in a lot of heat. These thermal conductors would also transfer heat easily.
plastic is a bad conductor of heat because it is made up of different man made material's.
