Detailed explanation-1: -Conductivity. Conductivity is the measure of the ease at which an electric charge or heat can pass through a material. A conductor is a material which gives very little resistance to the flow of an electric current or thermal energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Conductivity in metal is a measure of a material’s ability to transmit heat, or electricity (or sound). The reciprocal of conductivity is resistance, or the ability to reduce the flow of those.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thermal conductivity measures the ability of a metal to conduct heat. This property varies across different types of metal and is important to consider in applications where high operating temperatures are common. In pure metals, thermal conductivity stays roughly the same with increases in temperature.
