Is water vapour a good conductor of heat?

Water vapor is a poor conductor of heat because it has low thermal conductivity compared to solids and liquids. Heat conduction in gases like water vapor occurs primarily through collisions between gas molecules rather than through a direct transfer of heat energy.


Is mercury a better conductor of heat than glass?

No, it is not. The best thermal conductor among the metals is silver, and it is the best electrical conductor as well. There is a general "rule" in the natural world that thermal and electrical conductivity are proportionate among metals; they "track" together. If a metal is a better thermal conductor than another metal, it will be a better electrical conductor as well. It should be noted that the best thermal conductor of all known materials is the allotrope of carbon we call diamond. Interestingly, diamond is an electrical insulator.
