Silver is more electrically conductive then gold and is in fact the most conductive of all metals.
However in some cases where price is not object gold is used instead as silver can tarnish and lose some if its conductivity while gold does not. The issue of corrosion is even more pronounced in high frequency signals so often gold is the most cost effect option in situations that demand high signal integrity.

Does silver or gold conduct electricity better?
Silver is the best electrical conductor between metals.
Will a hydrogen bond conduct electricity?
Hydrogen bonds do not conduct electricity very well. Hope this helps! :)
What is something shiny and conducts electricity well?
Copper, silver, stainless steel are some things that are shiny and conduct electricity.
How does calcium chloride conduct electricity?
In solid form calcium chloride doesn't conduct electricity, but dissolved in water it conducts electricity quite well.
Is sodium hydroxide a conductor of electricity?
yes. Salt water can conduct electricity. It can also be a battery but not a very sustainable one.
Would a silver coin conduct electricey what kind of bonds does silver have?
Yes a silver coin can conduct electricity, Silver is one of the most commonly used to conduct electricity. Yes, silver is a very good conductor of electricity
Does silver that has oxidized conduct electricity?
Not especially well. However, the oxidation is usually limited to the surface, so the pure silver "core" will still conduct.
Does silver fluoride conduct electricity?
No
Does silver nitrate conduct electricity?
yes
Will silver react to electricity?
Silver is a conductor, so it will conduct electricity. If exposed to much electricity, than silver wire will melt/deform.
What metals conduct electricity the best besides silver and copper?
Zinc, gold, silver and many others. You see all metals can conduct electricity.
Is it true that only copper steel conduct electricity?
No, there are other conductors of electricity such as silver, gold, mercury, and aluminum as well as many others.
Do all planets conduct electricity?
Planets themselves probably do not conduct electricity, although it is likely that most planets do contain some conductive materials. The vast majority of the matter on the Earth does not conduct electricity very well, although large deposits of iron, silver, gold and copper all _DO_ conduct electricity.
Does argon gas conduct electricity and heat?
gases do not conduct heat or electricity well. metals conduct both well. but argon is a conductor
Will pencil lead conduct electricity?
Yes, Pencil Lead does conduct Electricity. Copper, Gold and Silver though are the best conductors.
Why is silver able to conduct electricity?
cause it is a metal which is a conductor
Why dont ionic compounds not conduct electricity well?
Yes, they do conduct very well electricity (double negative is positive!)
