Bad conductors of heat?

Clically metal's are good conductors of heat and electricity(the two things go together because electron mobility is important to the conductivity of heat and electricity)and non- metals and ges are have less than a tenth of that amount of conductivity.Carbon in the form of diamond is an electrical insulator but fairly good heat conductor but carbon as graphite is a fair conductor of heat and electricity.
