Some elements allow electrical current to pass through them with little resistance. These elements are known as conductors.
  • Conductors have one to three electrons in their valance ring (outer orbit)

Examples of the four best conductors, in order, are:

  1. Silver
  2. Gold
  3. Copper
  4. Aluminum.
