Calcium, it is.

nae wo to ek good conductor hai , reactivity series mein top mein sae hai

You have asked for the conductivity and not the reactivity

Conduction does not depend upon the position of the metal in the reactivity series. Platinum is one of the least reactive metal but it is a good conductor.

Gold???

Gold???

Gold does conduct electricity. Calcium doesn't.

All metals conduct electricity in solid state.

Rele...gold does...den ppl wear gold widot ne knwledge..lol

Haha, not that they would catch current. They do not need to wear gold for that. Even our body conducts electricity if we touch a source.

Calcium conducts electricity.

I am not sure but I do not find any other metal that doesn't conduct electricity. Calcium seems to be the likely option. Check here:

Though here they have mentioned copper as a non-conductor too, but we know that copper is a good conductor of electricity.

Calcium is an Alkali Metal, it has free electrons.
It conducts electricity in solid state easily.
And even in molten state, its a good conductor.

I know that, no need to say sorry

Every Metal has the property to conduct Electricity.
Copper is like one of best conductors in the world.
Metals possess free moving electrons due to Metallic Bonding.
These Free Moving Electrons allow Metals to conduct electricity.
Since all metals (even mercury) have free electrons, they all conduct electricity.
Hence that question was wrong.

Well, that makes sense. Then, which metal could it be? All of them have free electrons.

Love your conclusion..''Hence that question was wrong."
