Question

based on properties of elements in the periodic table, which element is the best conductor of thermal energy?

germanium (ge)

argon (ar)

vanadium (v)

polonium (po)

Explanation:

Metals are generally good conductors of thermal energy. Among the given options, vanadium (V) is a metal. Germanium (Ge) is a metalloid, argon (Ar) is a noble gas (non - metal), and polonium (Po) is a radioactive metal but its thermal conductivity is not as high as that of typical metals like vanadium in this context.

Answer:

vanadium (V)
