The property of a substance called the thermal conductivity indicates how well or how poorly a substance conducts heat. Insulating materials have a thermal conductivity around 0.02 to 0.08 Btu per hr - ft - F degree. A good conductor of heat like steel pipe has a thermal conductivity of about 24 Btu per hr - ft - F degree.

Thermodynamics is the branch of science that conducts tests on how well heat travels in an object.
An element that conducts heat and electrcurrent poorly, and can be a solid, liquid, or gas is a(n)nonmetal.
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.
If you want an example: Any metalIf you want an explanation:It is a material that allows heat to pass through it. If you heat up the end of metal rod the other end will become hot shortly afterwards because the metal conducts heat down it.
Metals conduct heat and electricity well.
A material with a good thermal conductivity or a thermal conductor.
Insulator
because gold is a metal it conducts heat and electricity very well
A material that doesn't conduct heat well is called an insulator.
Electricity does not conduct heat. Your question is meaningless.
Many materials conduct heat reasonably well, but are fairly good insulators where electricity is concerned. One example would be glass.
All.
