At room temperature, silver has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all the (known) metals. Note that diamond, an allotrope of carbon, is a poor electrical conductor but is several times better as a thermal conductor than silver. Carbon is a nonmetal, of course, but it was worth mentioning as both a comparison and a curiousity.
See related link. Note: I specified Siemens above which is equivalent to 1/Ohm.
It is silver.Silver has both the highest electrical and thermal conductivity.
first is steel
second is copper
third is gold
and i do not remember the rest
Silver is best ... 15.87 nΩ·m
Copper is hardly any worse, only 6%
Gold is 40% worse than Silver.
Of the common metals, copper has a very high thermal conductivity.
All metals have high electrical conductivity, although some are more conductive than others.
The best three conductors in order are silver, copper, aluminum.
gold
Copper has a high thermal conductivity, not low. This is a good generalization of any metal, although they vary in conductivity.
All wires conduct electricity, since wire is always made of metal, and all metals are conductors. Copper is preferred though, as it has the highest electrical conductivity rating of all non-precious metals. It is also very ductile when annealed, so can be drawn into wire of anything down to sub-millimetre diameters. Other metals are used for other properties. Aluminum wire has a higher conductivity to weight ratio and lower cost, for instance.
Tungsten or wolfram is a natural metal with the highest melting point. The metal also has the highest tensile strength.
Copper has very high electrical conductivity, low resistance, good tensile strength and ductility, and is normally not brittle. Other materials with higher conductivity are either too expensive (like gold) or too brittle to be good candidates for wire.
A geranium is a flower, and not a semiconductor. The element Germanium, however, is a semiconductor, which means it has an electrical conductivity somewhere between that of a metal and an insulator.
gold
Silver
The metal with the highest thermal conductivity is silver, followed by copper, then gold.
Silver has the highest thermal conductivity of any metal.
Silver is a Group 11 transition metal, other Group 11 transition metal include Copper, Gold, and Roentgenium. Silver also has the highest conductivity of any metal, Copper has the second highest. Silver also has the highest thermal conductivity, Mercury has the second highest. Based in appearance, Silver is similar to White Lustrium (a metal used mainly to make jewelry) and white gold.
It's conductivity is 6.3e7/ohm-m, which is the highest of any metal
Copper has the highest conductivity
Silver has the highest conductivity of all the metals a factor of 10 greater than its closest contender.
Yes,Aluminum have conductivity because it is a metal
The plain and simple answer to this is yes. Metal (Copper or not) has the highest conductivity properties. I will say however that some are more conductive than other.
It would help if you specify whether you are talking about thermal conductivity, or electrical conductivity. Diamond certainly doesn't has the highest electrical conductivity. Its thermal conductivity is one of the highest known, and - if a synthetic diamond is made from pure (99.9%) C-12, it is indeed the highest. The Wikipedia article attributes this to a strong covalent bonding.
No, metals have high conductivity but has low resistivity.
