It depends on what you compare it to. Steel has a thermal conductivity about 100 times greater than insulation, but is less conductive than materials such as ceramic or copper.
No. Mild steel is a fairly good conductor of both electricity and heat.
No, mild steel is a conductor of electricity.

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.
Yes. Gases have low thermal conductivity, so if you keep convection low (bulk movement of the gas) they are good thermal insulators. Refractive bricks used in kilns (high temperature ovens) made of silica and some other low conductivity materials are made intentionally porous.
Thermal conductivity refers to the conductivity that is associated with heat. Electrical conductivity refers to the conductivity that is associated with electricity.
The thermal conductivity of a perfect conductor is 1
A thermal conductor allows heat to readily flow through itself. An example of a material with a low thermal conductivity would be air, and an example of a material with a high thermal conductivity would be steel.

Copper has a high thermal conductivity, not low. This is a good generalization of any metal, although they vary in conductivity.
Low thermal conductivity!
Usually it is, but exceptional case is of Graphite which has low thermal conductivity.
Thermal conductivity involves the movement of energy while the as a whole is still. Gases are said to have low thermal conductivity, as they transfer heat poorly. Metals have much better thermal conductivity, as they will heat up and cool down relatively quickly.
have high conductivity; have low specific heat
Galvanized steel: 18 W/m K You can check out the resources here below

from wiedemann franz law we know that thermal conductivity/electrical conductivity=constant that is sigma inv. proportional to k thus a material having large electrical conductivity has low thermal conductivity and moreover we know R=pL/A p=RA/L 1/P=L/RA i.e lower area means greater conductivity(electrical) and lower thermal conductivity
