Well, this question is a bit vague. If you're referring to a pure element gas, it would have to be helium. If, however, you are referring to any gaseous substance, assuming also that you are referring to gaseous substances at STP (standard temperature and pressure, ie. 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and 15 kilo pascals of pressure), then I'm afraid the TRUE answer to your question is most likely unknown to anyone. However, I do know that methane is a pretty good conductor of heat at STP, and is actually a better conductor of heat than carbon dioxide.

Hope this helps.

Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)

its approximately 32 600x more absorbent than carbon dioxide, and can last in the atmosphere for 3200 years.

the longest lasting gas is tetrafluoromethane or carbon tetrafluoride (CF4) with about 50 000 years, but is only 11 200x more absorbent than carbon dioxide.

False. It loses energy.


Is it true that gas absorbs energy as it changes into a liquid?

When a gas changes to a liquid, it goes through the process of Condensation. This is when the gas cools and loses energy. Then the particles are forced to change state, from a gas to a liquid.
