Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
For a good conductor, the conduction process should be easily possible. As we know that in conduction, electrons play a very important role. Now, for good conduction, electrons must be free. But in water, the electrons are engaged in chemical bond and hence are not free to participate in conduction. Thus, Water is a bad conductor of heat.
Thus the correct statement would be, water is a bad conductor of heat.
