The melting point of silver is around 962 and the boiling point is around 2000. Conductivity refers to the ability of a material to transmit energy. Silver has the highest thermal conductivity of any element and also the highest light reflectance. Silver is a good conductor because its electrons are free to move than those of the other elements, thereby making it more suitable for the conduction of electricity and heat than any other element.
