Based on properties of elements in the periodic table, which element is the best conductor of thermal energy?(1 point)Responsespolonium (Po)polonium ( P o )vanadium (V)vanadium ( v )argon (Ar)argon ( A r )germanium (Ge)

The best conductor of thermal energy among the options provided is **vanadium (V)**.

In general, metals are good conductors of thermal energy due to their free electrons, and among the options listed, vanadium is a metal, while polonium is a metalloid, argon is a noble gas, and germanium is also a metalloid. Therefore, vanadium would be expected to conduct thermal energy better than the other elements listed.
