We normally associate metals with solids (at room temperature) -- Mercury being one exception. All materials, solids or fluids, can conduct heat. However, not all solids are good conductors, but most metals are. I don't know about sodium, a metal, though, because it disintegrates in room air -- not practical to do a controlled experiment to prove about it being a good heat conductor or not. However, since those solids that are classified as a metal for the reason that each metal has free roaming electrons, which can be transport heat, and since solids also have phonons (lattice vibrations), sodium can conduct heat too (at least for the first mini-seconds of being exposed to air) -- just don't know whether sodium is a good heat conductor if it stands alone. BTW, mercury is a good heat conductor too.

What else can I help you with?
What are some conductors for heat?
Some common conductors of heat include metals such as copper, aluminum, and iron, as well as materials like silver and gold. These substances have high thermal conductivity, meaning they transfer heat efficiently.
Are all types of metals good conductors?
No, not all metals are good conductors. Some metals, such as copper and aluminum, are excellent conductors of electricity and heat due to their large numbers of free electrons. Other metals, like lead and stainless steel, are poor conductors because their electrons are not as free to move.
Do metals insulate heat?
No, metals are generally good conductors of heat, meaning they allow heat to easily pass through them. This is why metals are often used in cooking utensils or in the construction of buildings to help distribute heat evenly.
Which materials are good or bad conductors of heat?
metals are good conductors of heat, i.e. iron, steel,... non-metals are bad, i.e. carbon...
What are metals and other materials that transfer heat and electricity easily called?
They are called conductors. Metals such as copper and aluminum are good conductors of heat and electricity, whereas materials like rubber and wood are insulators, meaning they do not conduct heat and electricity easily.
How many different metals are conductors?
All metals are conductors of electricity and heat.
Are all conductors of heat shiny?
conductors are generally are made of metals and naturally metals are of shiny and so u can tell that all conductors of heat shiny
What group of metals are the best conductors of heat and electric current?
all metals are good conductors of heat and electric currents
What conductors electricity?
copper,iron,gold,all metals are good conductors of heat
What is true about most metals?
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. They have a metallic luster. All the metals are solids except Mercury.
Which metal is a good conductor of heat?
All metals are good conductors of heat.
Are metals conductors or insulators?
In general, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Witch metals are conducters?
All metals are good conductors of heat and electricity except Mercury
Mercury is the only metal that is conductor of heat?
All metals are heat conductors; mercury is not special.
What are some conductors for heat?
Some common conductors of heat include metals such as copper, aluminum, and iron, as well as materials like silver and gold. These substances have high thermal conductivity, meaning they transfer heat efficiently.
Metals are conductors of heat and electricity?
Yes, but some metals are better conductors than others.
Are metals poor conductors of heat?
not all.. the only poor metal is brass..
