Which metal is the best conductor of heat?..

Answer / Vijaylaxmi

Silver is known as one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. It has a thermal conductivity of 429 W/(m·K) at room temperature, making it superior to other common metals such as copper (385 W/(m·K)), gold (317 W/(m·K)), and aluminum (237 W/(m·K)). However, silver's high cost limits its use in many applications where a more economical metal would suffice.
