Which metals conduct heat and electricity from the periodic table?

0

The simple answer is that ALL metals conduct heat and electricity well. That means that all the metals that you mentioned, since they are metals, do both. Those are two of the main properties of metals. If that’s not a complete answer and you need specific numbers for each of the ones you listed, I suggest looking in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics or some online reference… Generally, the softer metals such as sodium, copper, lead, silver, mercury and tin are the better conductors of both heat and electricity. However, many of these, such as sodium, mercury and tin, are not used for applications requiring conducting properties due to other unfavorable characteristics such as toxicity or strong reactivity with surroundings.
