golds the the 3rd best electrical conductor (silver is the best, then copper).
Gold is the best material to use for the little connectors that connect the various parts of a cell phone together, because the only materials with better electrical conductivity (silver is the best, followed by copper) quickly corrode in air, leaving the connectors with a thin layer of terribly low conductivity corrosion products.
