More or less everything conducts thermal energy, but to different degrees.
substance mass
Something that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal...conductor. If it does not conduct well it is called an insulator.
The object you are referring to is called a conductor. Conductors are materials that allow the flow of both thermal energy and electricity through them.
A material that can conduct thermal energy as well as be used as a thermal insulator is ceramic. Ceramics have low thermal conductivity, making them good insulators, while some ceramics like Silicon Carbide have good thermal conductivity, making them suitable for use in heat sinks and other thermal management applications.
Aluminum has more thermal energy compared to gold because aluminum has a higher specific heat capacity, meaning it can absorb and retain more heat energy for a given temperature change.
thermal insulator
a conductor does, while an insulator poorly conducts thermal energy!

Florine conducts thermal energy. Florine is the lightest of halogens and is reactive to most elements, including gas and asbestos.
The object you are referring to is called a conductor. Conductors are materials that allow the flow of both thermal energy and electricity through them.
Metals conduct thermal energy through the movement of free electrons. When heat is applied, the free electrons gain kinetic energy and move through the metal, colliding with lattice vibrations and transferring their energy. This process allows thermal energy to be rapidly transferred through the metal.
One material that conducts thermal energy poorly is Styrofoam. This material has a low thermal conductivity due to its high concentration of trapped air pockets, which hinders the transfer of heat. This property makes Styrofoam a good insulator for keeping things cool or warm.

All elements will conduct heat to some extent. metals conduct heat and electricity the best; metalliods conduct heat and electricity good too but not as good as metals. nonmetals are poor conductors.
A material with a good thermal conductivity or a thermal conductor.
