My choice is gold.
You're wrong
Yeah, that's probably why high-end electrical parts are usually silver plated.Originally posted by: Howard

Actually, I believe it's gold plated for good conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance. Not excellent conductivity.

They gold plate them so the contacts do not tarnish. Not because it is more conductive.
Gold < Copper < Silver

Interestingly enough, heat conductivity follows the same. Thermal capacitance is different however. (Heat capacity = Copper > Silver > Gold)

Carbon is pretty nice. Quite a diverse element. Forms all kinds of neat atomic structures, and it can also be good and reactive. It can be a conductor or an insulator, hard or soft, transparent or opaque.
Carbon can do it all.
But it's made of an element, just one type of atom, very neatly arranged. Definitely isn't a compound.

Seriously, I was going to say cesium, but it was taken.
We can't have the same favorite as someone else?

Sure we can, but I wanted to be unique.

"Yes, we are all individuals"
Gotta go with Si. Considering I'm taking an IC devices course, I'd better say Si. Or at least one of the group IV elements.
