We know that a good conductor of electricity should have a low resistivity and a poor conductor of electricity will have a high resistivity. Silver has the lowest resistivity of 1.60 x 10-8 Ω m, which means that silver offers the least resistance to the flow of current through it. So, silver is the best conductor of electricity.
