Most metals conduct electricity and heat, but some are much better than others. “Conductivity” measures the amount of electrical current or heat that can pass through a material.
From an atomic perspective, the most conductive materials have one highly active electron on the atom’s outer shell (the valence electron).
The metallic bond is the force of constantly moving electrons that holds the atom together. It is responsible for the high electrical and thermal conductivity properties, luster and malleability. Combined, these properties define the most conductive metals.
Not all metals have the same level of conductivity – here are five of the most conductive:
There are several factors that influence the conductivity of a metal including:
