A conductor
Metals which have free valence electrons conduct electricity and heat. thus they are good conductors.
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.
electric circuit
An object that reduces the passage of heat, electricity, and sound is called an insulator. Insulators are materials that have low thermal conductivity, high electrical resistance, and good soundproofing properties. Examples include fiberglass, rubber, and wood.
The blunt answer is that ALL materials can potentially conduct heat and electricity (metals, air, water, human bodies, cloth, wood, even rubber, etc), but require the right conditions. A GOOD conductor is one that can transmit heat or electricity or both VERY EASILY under standard temperature/pressure conditions. There are many, many GOOD conductors out there and too numerous to name on this answer board.

A Liquid that conducts electricity and is decomposed in the process is called electrolyte.
Yes, gold conducts electricity. In fact, it's an excellent electrical conductor. Coupled with its resistance to corrosion, it finds broad use in modern electronics, to name just one application.
A substance that conducts electricity is a conductor. There is no special name for one that is solid; if you need to specify that it is solid, just call it a "solid conductor".
Static Electricity.
The form of stationary electricity is called static electricity. It occurs when there is an imbalance of electric charges on the surface of an object.
