Given: What solids are the best heat conductors?

If you look at a thermal conductivity (units: #[W/(mK)]#)table you will see the following data at # 25^@ C#

diamond = 1000
silver = 429
copper = 401
gold = 310
lithium = 301
aluminum = 205
tungsten = 174
graphite = 168
magnesium = 156
sodium (solid) = 135
zinc = 116
iron = 80
platinum = 70
