Silver, at normal temperatures. Superconductors are another matter - at very low temperatures many materials experience a great increase in conductivity.
With resistivity expressed in nano-ohm⋅metres:
Cu, copper = 16.78; Ag, silver = 15.87
So, Silver by a small margin - about 6% more conductive than copper.

Which element is malleable and a good conductor of electricity at stp?
silver
Is iorn conductive?
Iron (Fe) is electrically and thermally conductive.Iron is a metal element. It has free electrons. So it is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Is gold a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
No it is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity
Is boron a good conductor of electricity?
Boron is not a good conductor of electricity at room temperature, but is a good conductor at a high temperature.
Is silver oxide conductive?
Silver is the best conductor of electricity. Following this is copper, gold and then aluminium.
Which element would be the best conductor of electricity?
Silver is the best conductor of electricity, and as it is costly, copper is widely used.
What materials conduct heat and electricity?
The best conductor for heat and electricity is any type of metal element.
What element is the second best conductor of electricity?
Carbon nanotubes or graphene
Is sodium the best conductor of electricity?
yes, sodium is the best conductor of electricity
Is steel the best conductor of electricity?
NO. Silver is the best conductor of electricity. (That is why it is used in satellites).
What is the second best conductor of electricity?
At ordinary temperatures, the element that's the best conductor of electricity is silver, with the second best being copper. At very low temperatures, some materials become superconducting. Superconducting materials are all perfect conductors of electricity, with no resistance at all.
Which metal is the best conductor of electricity and why?
The most common one that is very effective is METAL. Well, metal is not an element Of elements, silver is the best conductor of heat followed by copper. The best conductor of heat overall at room temperature is diamond, not an element of course.
If testing show an element is a poor conductor of electricity it is probably a?
This element is a metalloid.
Is cold water best conductor of electricity?
No, but impure is a good conductor of electricity.
Which element is malleable and a good conductor of electricity at stp?
silver
Which is non metallic element which is a conductor of electricity?
graphite
Is metal the best conductor of heat and electricity?
Silver or Argentum (Ag)The best conductor of heat and electricity is silver.
