Question

The best conductor of electricity is _____.

Answer 1

1. The electrons in silver are more mobile than those in other elements.
2. So, as it has the most moveable atoms, it is the finest conductor of electricity (free electrons).
3. The energy passing through a substance must be able to move the electrons; the bigger the number of free electrons in a metal, the better the conductivity.
4. Most metals are electrically conductive.
5. Aluminum, zinc, nickel, iron, and platinum are other elements having strong electrical conductivity.

Hence the best conductor of electricity is silver.
