Use the periodic table to answer the question.
An illustration shows the periodic table of elements. The elements in the periodic table are arranged in groups (columns numbered 1 through 18) and periods (rows numbered 1 through 7) such that the atomic number increases along a period from left to right. The elements are divided into the following categories: · Alkali metals · Alkaline earth metals · Transition metals · Post-transition metals · Lanthanides · Actinides · Metalloids · Nonmetals · Noble gases · Unknown The elements are also classified on the basis of their physical states as follows: · Solid · Liquid · Gas · Unknown The element sulfur is enlarged with the following properties. · Chemical symbol: S · Name: Sulfur · Atomic Number: 16 · Atomic mass: 32.06 · Common oxidation states: 6, 4, 2, negative 2 · Electronegativity: 2.58 · Ionization energies: 999.589 · Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s2 3p4
Based on properties of elements in the periodic table, which element is the best conductor of thermal energy?

The best conductor of thermal energy among the elements listed is **vanadium (V)**.
Vanadium is a transition metal, and transition metals are generally good conductors of heat and electricity due to their metallic bonding and structure. Polonium (Po) is a metalloid and less effective as a conductor than most transition metals. Germanium (Ge) is a semiconductor and has limited conductivity compared to metals. Argon (Ar) is a noble gas and does not conduct heat. Therefore, vanadium is the best choice among the options provided.
