Copper and Aluminum are the most common types of conductors. But silver is the most conductive metal.
Gold is less corrosive but about 50% less conductive. Silver tends to grow hair when used in close circuits, so gold is used in processors and close circuits like circuit boards or silver with a gold plating to reduce this hair growing corrosion, that causes circuits to short. So the answer is silver is the best conductor of electricity.

Is salt water a better conductor of electricity than aluminum foil and brass?
YES Metals are better conductors !
Are all types of metal conductors?
All metals conduct heat and electricity. Some metals e.g., gold, copper conduct electricity better than others.
Does cerium conduct electricity and heat?
Cerium is a metal. All metals are conductors. Some are better conductors than others, but they all conduct electricity.
What is the best conductors of heat and electricity?
The best conductor of electricity is silver, though gold is used more often because it does not oxidize. But of course, copper, silver, and gold are all very close in conductivity. The best conductor of heat is Helium (in its Helium II liquid state), which can conduct heat better than diamond or silver. It should be noted that at temperatures approaching absolute zero the metal lead becomes a superconductor, giving zero resistance to the flow of electricity.
Do kids conduct electricity better than adults?
Yes, babies and small children are better conductors, because they have a much higher water content, especially in their skin cells.
Does solid silver conduct electricity?
All metals do. Silver is one of the best conductors - better than copper in fact.
Metals are conductors of heat and electricity?
Yes, but some metals are better conductors than others.
Why are metals better conductors than ceramics?
Metals are better conductors than ceramics because they have a large number of loose electrons. Electricity has loose electrons.
Are acidic solutions good or poor conductors of electricity?
Strong acids in solution are better conductors than weak acids in solution, and both are better than pure water.
Good conductors of electricity are often good conductors of heat?
Generally speaking, materials that are good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. But there is a notable exception. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, conducts heat better than any metal, but it is an electrical insulator.
Does zucchini conduct electricity?
Not well. Zucchinis make better pies than conductors.
Is salt water a better conductor of electricity than aluminum foil and brass?
YES Metals are better conductors !
What conducts electricity better than metals?
Silver
Why are some kinds of metals conductors of electricity and some are not?
All metals can conduct electricity, though some better than others.
What metal conducts electricity better than copper?
Silver
Is metal a better conducter than plastic?
Plastic, wood and paper are insulators and very poor conductors of electricity.
Strong acids are good conductors of?
Electricity this is true
