1. Gold is more expensive.
Edit:
Silver is considered a better investment opportunity than Gold.
One of the reasons is because there are far more industrial uses for Silver than there are for Gold.
That means that silver is quickly diminishing in abundance while gold is actually Increasing in abundance.
(Presently, there is about 5 to 7 times more gold than silver stored above ground.)

Does copper conduct electricity better than gold?
Yes, it does! Pure copper is a much better electrical conductor at normal operating conditions. Gold plating is used in electronics and cables because of it's corrosion resistance. I'm not really sure why though. Silver is cheaper than gold, and oxides to silver oxide, which is still a better conductor than gold. pure silver is the best naturally occurring conductor, followed by copper followed (not very closely) by gold.
Why is silver a better conductor than gold?
Gold has more electrons than silver. As such gold will also have more protons. Because of the opposite charges of the protons and electrons there will be a greater force of attraction between the electrons and the nucleus than there is in silver as silver has less protons. The valence electrons in silver are further away from the nucleus than the valence electrons in gold and they are therefore less attracted to the nucleus The valence electrons in silver can be lost more easily than those in gold in order to conduct heat and electricity.
Why is gold more valuable than silver?
because it is more rare and silver is more heavy there for less portable | | Have to partially disagree with the above statement. Gold is more rare than silver while it is still in the ground. There is actually more processed gold in the world than silver. Silver is not heavier than gold. It is heavier in 'value' than gold and therefor not as portable. So why is gold more valuable than silver? Short answer - because people made it more valuable. Apparently, they like gold better. | | Gold also has more valuable industrial uses then silver for example: gold is more resistant to corrosion. Gold is also a good conductor of electricity, particularly because it resists corrosion i.e. silver actually conducts better then silver until it begins to corrode (charging metal tends to speed up corrosion). So it's not just that we 'like' gold more, there are practical reasons why gold is more valuable.

no because gold sounds so much better than silver
What makes silver copper and gold the best conductors?
i think it is gold is the greater and the better conductor than silver, logically all people don't use silver in our appliances, and why they are not using silver in pcb's, motherboards, etc. logically the gold's property is higher than silver, it's not silver, the price is not responsible for why silver is better than gold, common sense, silver is the best conductor bcoz gold is too much expensive than silver, that is a lame reason, price is not responsible in conduction

Too right! :)
