Metals which are good conductors of heat among the following

Metals which are good conductors of heat among the following Correct Answer Silver

The correct answer is Silver.

  • Pure silver is malleable, very ductile, soft, lustrous, and nearly white.
  • It is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
  • It is attacked by nitric acid forming nitrate and by hot concentrated sulfuric acid even though it is not chemically active.
  • The bluish-white lustrous metal is called the lead.
  • It is a poor conductor of electricity.
  • It is ductile, highly malleable, and very soft.
  • It is very resistant to corrosion but tarnishes upon exposure to air.
  • Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature.
  • It has a relatively high vapor pressure.
  • It has high volatility hence vaporizes and becomes a colorless and odorless gas.
  • It is a good conductor of electricity but a poor conductor of heat.
  • Zinc is a lustrous bluish-white metal.
  • It is brittle and crystalline at ordinary temperatures but it becomes ductile and malleable when heated between 110-degree celsius and 150-degree celsius.
  • It is a highly reactive metal that will combine with oxygen and other non-metals and will react with dilute acids to release hydrogen.
