This answer assumes that the energy being applied is absorbed into the metal sample at an equal rate for all metals. If heat transfer properties are taken into account the answer might be different. What is required is to find the metal with the lowest specific heat, as that determines the temperature rise for a given amount of energy, and hence the fastest rise in temperature for a given rate of energy transfer. I agree with the previous answerer that the best way to compare metals is by their specific heat, which is how many units of heat (energy) it will take to raise the temperature of a standard mass of the metal one degree. All other things being equal, the metal with the lowest specific heat is Radium at 0.094 J/g/K (at 300K temperature, 27oC, 80oF). Radon has the same specific heat, but it is not a metal. Use the following link to see a complete list of all known specific heats for the elements, published by M.I.T. (There are about 2 dozen exotic elements for which heat capacity has not been determined. While one of them possibly is lower than Radium, we have no way of knowing in the forseeable future.)

When excited electrons radiate energy the amount of energy given off is equal to?
The amount of energy given off by excited electrons when they radiate energy is equal to the difference in energy level between the initial and final states. This emitted energy is typically in the form of photons.
Which substances will show the smallest change in temperature when equal amounts of energy are absorbed?
Substances with high specific heat capacities, such as water, will show the smallest change in temperature when equal amounts of energy are absorbed. This is because these substances can absorb a lot of heat energy without a significant increase in temperature.
When equal amounts of energy are transferred to or from equal masses of different substances the substances will undergo different changes in temperature because of their different?

Where on a roller coaster is there equal amounts of potential energy and kinetic energy?
There would be equal amounts of kinetic and potential energy at the middle of a drop, because the potential energy would have lost half of it's amount and the kinetic energy would have gained that amount but none else so far. Pretty sure thats all right, 🖒
What is the amount of energy given off or absorbed when electrons change energy states equal to?
The amount of energy given off or absorbed when electrons change energy states is equal to the difference in energy levels between the initial and final states of the electron. This energy is typically released or absorbed in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as light.
Are kinetic and potential energy equal in a system?
In a closed system, the total amount of kinetic and potential energy remains constant, but they are not necessarily equal at any given moment.
Why was Erwin Chargaff's experiment important?
that the DNA of a given species containes equal amounts of cytosine and guanine as well as adenine and thymine.
What happens when there are equal amounts of negative and positive electrons?
Unless they are kept apart, they will annihilate each other with a release of energy.
Do electrons have different amounts of energy?
Yes, electrons can have different amounts of energy. In quantum mechanical systems where any particle (not just electrons) are bound, they can only acquire discrete amounts of energy called energy levels. Adding energy to an electron in an atom might cause it to jump to a higher energy level and is then said to be in an excited state; if it were to fall to a lower level it would give up a discrete amount of energy equal to the difference in energy between the two states.
