I thought Diamond had the highest thermal conductivity but when I checked some sites on the internet I found references to parallel graphite with almost double the diamond value of 895 W/m*K.
And then there is the esoteric Helium II at less than 2.2 degrees K (that's really cold!) which may have a thermal conductivity of over 100 000!

∙ 12y agoDiamond - crystallized carbon - is the best conductor of heat at room temperatures.
And to complicate things, some diamonds conduct heat better than others.
The next best conductor of heat is silver, then copper.
The best conductor known today is liquid helium II, with a thermal conductivity greater tham 105 W/m.K (at temperatures near absolute zero).

What is the best heat conducter?
Silver is the best conductor of heat. Titanium is the hardest metal. potassium cyanide is the most poisonous compound
Is a silver bracelet a conductor or insulator?
Silver is the best conductor there is, no matter what it is made into.
What does conducter mean in science?
In science, conduct means to serve as a channel. For example, water and most metals will conduct electricity.

Witct is a better conducter a plastic spoon or a metal spoon?
A metal spoon - plastic does not conduct electricity
Is glass a good conducter of heat?
yes. these are the best conductors of heat: copper aluminum, glass, brass and steel conduct heat the best
Is helium a conducter of heat?
No. it is not
Why is metal a heat conducter?
because it's a good heat conducter Electric conductors tend to be good heat conductors, but the above seems reasonable.
Is iron a good conducter of heat?
Of course it is!
What is a better conducter of heat is it steel?
steel
Is nichrome a conducter of heat?
yes,in fact it is good conductor of heat
Is gold a conducter an insulater of heat?
Metals are conductors of heat. Gold is a metal.
What does thermal conducter?
the ability of a material to transfer heat through it.
What is the best heat conducter?
Silver is the best conductor of heat. Titanium is the hardest metal. potassium cyanide is the most poisonous compound
Is a styrofoam a good conducter of heat or a bad conductor of heat?
It is a bad conductor of heat, that is why it is used as an insulating material.
What does gold is a conducter of heat mean?
means that gold can get hot easily
Is plastic a insulator or a conducter?
Yes because it can't produce heat and heat doesn't travel through it.
