Answer:

No sue is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because metal is conducive when it come to heat metal conducts is rather well. The close packing of the metal ions in the lattice. the delocalised electrons can carry kinetic energy through the lattice. Wood lacks this close packing and dose not have any metal ion at all. Therefore making it a poor heart conductor... make sense?
