No actually something like water is a good and fimiliar conductor but to get down to the science water is H2O. Two hydrogen atoms (hydrogen is a metalliod which is between metal and non-metal but is considered to be more non-metal) and one oxygen atom (oxygen is a non-metal) both together make H2O which is water and is a great conductor (but not as good as some metals are).

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?

Metals are generally good conductors of electricity due to their free electrons that can move freely within the material. Nonmetals are poor conductors of electricity because they lack free electrons for efficient conduction.
