gold as its conductivity is high

It is a very pure conductive metal. More pure than gold. Indeed.

it's 25 that is silver and 50 for gold

you could put it in water and see if it tarnishes quickly?\n\ngold is relatively stable, and doesn't tarnish. you could also try to test it's electrical conductivity if you have an ohm-meter. gold conducts electricity very well. you may need more info to do this though.\n\ngood luck

Less dense materials are better insulators. The denser the material, the closer its atoms are together. That means the transfer of energy of one atom to the next is more effective. Thus, gases insulate better than liquids, which in turn insulate better than solids.\n\nAn interesting fact is that poor conductors of electricity are also poor heat conductors. Wood is a much better insulator than copper. The reason is that metals that conduct electricity allow free electrons to roam through the material. This enhances the transfer of energy from one area to another in the metal. Without this ability, the material--like wood..AND IN YOUR CASE RUBBER--does not conduct heat well.

Copper. It is so brilliant

Most efficient? If you don't have a lab, then I would assume just doing your best at grinding off the top layer, and trying to melt the shreddings down into a >70% gold alloy. Since gold's melting point is OVER 1000 degrees Celsius, I suppose your best bet is to heat the grindings as much as possible, and then pounding them together into a single mass (like a black-smith...or 'gold-smith'). But you have to realize HOW LITTLE gold is actually on there. The layer is so thin...sometimes merely 2-3 micrometers. You're gonna get a lot of impurities, such as nickel and copper. Gold-plating is usually done on copper or silver; and in the case of copper, a thin layer of nickel is placed below the gold. And since the melting point of nickel isn't that far from that of gold, and copper's is almost EXACTLY that of gold's, you're gonna get a random mixture of crap. I imagine the process is more trouble than it's worth. I'd just go buy gold from alfa aesar or somewhere like that for cheap-as-free.

Silver has a higher reflective index than any other industry-related metal anhydride.  For economic purposes, titanium isn't used in most commercial labs.  However in some superconductors, the 0.003% difference is crucial.  Though it costs much more.

good as it gets ,  go for the gold

Simply put, it's not a conductor. \n\nhttp://jchemed.chem.wisc.edu/JCEsoft/CCA/CCA1/MVHTM/R0540/S567.HTM

If you stick two electrodes with a light bulb into salty water, the light will shine brightly, showing that it really is a good conductor of electricity. The more ions you add, the more brightly the light will shine.\n\nSo in other words, it sure is a good conductor and it is one because of the NaCl-  (Sodium chloride) in it.

what is semi conductor  --> answer is that between good and bad conductor like silicon,

Copper is used as a conductor and as a easily maliable (formable) metal.  It is also naturally anti-bacterial.

A ductile substance is easily pulled or stretched into a thin wire without breaking.\n\n"...gold is the most ductile metal and one gram of it can be drawn into a wire 2,300 meters long."\n\n"The order of ductility of some familiar metals is gold > silver > platinum > iron > copper > palladium > aluminum > zinc > tin > lead"

good conductor of heat and electricity, a metal, lustre, maleable and ductile...
