Solution

  1. Metals, which are good conductors of heat, can absorb heat easily and transfer it to the other body.
  2. However, insulators cannot absorb and transfer the heat easily to other bodies, as they are bad conductors of heat. Eg. wood, glass etc.

Hence, metal is a good conductor of heat, while insulators is a bad conductor of heat.
