The best conductor of thermal energy (heat) among the options provided is iron (Fe). Metals, in general, are good conductors of heat, and iron is known for its thermal conductivity compared to the other elements listed. Germanium is a semiconductor, while polonium is a metalloid with lower thermal conductivity, and argon is a noble gas and a poor conductor of heat.
Based on properties of elements in the periodic table, which element is the best conductor of thermal energy (heat)? (1 point) Responses germanium (Ge) germanium (Ge) Iron (Fe) Iron (Fe) polonium (Po) polonium (Po) argon (Ar)
