Question

based on properties of elements in the periodic table, which element is the best conductor of thermal energy? (1 point)
o germanium (ge)
o polonium (po)
o argon (ar)
o vanadium (v)

Explanation:

Metals are generally good conductors of thermal energy. Vanadium is a metal. Argon is a noble - gas and has low thermal conductivity. Germanium is a semiconductor with moderate thermal conductivity. Polonium is a metalloid with relatively lower thermal conductivity compared to many metals. Vanadium, being a metal, has a more delocalized electron structure which helps in the transfer of thermal energy.

Answer:

vanadium (V)
