Question

Which metal are the best conductor of heat

Answer 1

Gold, Silver, Copper, Aluminium, Iron etc are good heat conductors as well as electrical conductors. The valence electrons in those metals are eager to trasnsfer the energy received in any form.

Answer 2

Silver, Aluminum, and Brass are the best conductors of heat.

• Heat transfer occurs at a lower rate in objects of low thermal conductivity than in high thermal conductivity objects.
• For example, metals generally have high thermal performance and are very effective at conducting heat, while the opposite is true for protective materials such as Styrofoam.
• Correspondingly, high thermal conductivity materials are widely used in thermal insulation applications, and low thermal conductivity materials are used as thermal insulation. Reciprocal thermal conductivity is called thermal resistivity.
